CITY of York fielded largely an U14 girls side for the two matches at Castleford at the weekend in the Yorkshire U16 Girls' Youth League.

The opposition were well disciplined, well trained and physically superior. York lost the matches 4-0 and 3-0 respectively after a brave defensive effort to keep the scoreline respectable.

April Watson, in goal, had a particularly busy and impressive game, along with Kate Longbotham, who captained the side.
