SALLY Sleightholme proved the star for City of York HC Ladies first team and the scourge of Driffield.
Driffield were twice put to the sword 2-1 by York in the space of four days with Sleighholme scoring all four goals.
In both matches she put York ahead and then, after Driffield levelled, it was the cool finishing of Sleightholme which secured the double delight.
There was yet more glee for the ladies’ second ranks. First up, York routed visiting Leed 4-1 to confirm promotion to division one less than a full season after they were relegated.
Despite missing several key players, unbeaten York played fluidly throughout.
Goals from Ness Fox and Julie Routledge put City ahead, with midfielder Sharon Lynn also on the mark.
Routledge bagged a second goal before a lone Leeds reply with Kirsty Rossington named the player of the match.
That award went to defender Faye Garland a day later when she helped the promoted York ranks hold Doncaster 2nds to a goal-less draw.
Just two more points will clinch the title for York.
