They beat: Caedmon, 1-0, Fyling Hall, 2-0, Ryedale B team, 1-0, Eskdale, 2-0, and Lady Lumley’s, 1-0 and drew with Malton, 0-0; with only six minutes for each match, they did very well. Verity Fullerton- Smith scored four goals, Casey Johnson scored two and Lucy Walker scored one. Many of the goals were scored  due to the excellent assistance from Polly Mumford and Abi Smith. There was some great defending by Amber Mason and Morwenna Talling and wonderful goal-keeping by Amy Hayhurst.
