York City Ladies cruised into the final of the North Riding County Cup after seeing off Saltburn 5-1.

Emma Fawcett opened the scoring after unleashing a powerful shot which the 'keeper could not hold and ten minutes before half-time, Jenny Garnett broke free and slotted one into the back of the net to give City a 2-0 lead to build on.

Some strong half-time words later, Garnett, who was named joint player of the match with defender Helen Pattison, netted her second of the game after dusting herself down to convert a penalty.

Lou Ross made it 4-0 with an awesome tight-angled strike before Saltburn pulled a goal back.

But with ten minutes left on the clock, York reasserted themselves to make it 5-1 after Charlie Woodward hammered home a free-kick.

York will now face either Marton or Sheriff Hutton in the final on May 16.

City welcome Bradford to the Knavesmire tonight, kick off 6.30pm.
