CITY of York Hockey Club produced a strong showing in their latest round of matches, recording five victories from seven matches.

City of York Ladies II kicked off their year with a 2-1 victory away to Halifax II.

Vicky Skilton opened the scoring with a well-hit strike from a penalty corner to put the visitors ahead.

York pushed for a second with some great play and runs through from defence from player-of-the-match Heidi Rochester, but found themselves pegged back with a good team goal from Halifax.

Determined to travel home with all three points, York kept fighting and found the deserved winner through a great strike from Molly Ake.

City of York III were the only Ladies side not to record a victory after drawing 1-1 with Leeds Adel III.

Before the match, both sides took part in a minute's silence in memory of Ross Anderson, the club's former treasurer and vice president.

Lucy Tate provided York's late equaliser after Adel had taken the lead.

Alice Hodcroft scored twice in City of York V's convincing 5-0 victory over Northallerton II.

Holly Clayden, Sarah Davies and Alice Arnott also found the back of the net.

City of York VI sealed the club's biggest victory of the weekend when they thrashed team counterparts City of York VII.

Lydia Waters and Adele Brydon both bagged doubles for VII, with Louise Flatters, Anwen Hughes and Georgia Cooper adding to the side's advantage.

Meanwhile, City of York Men VI won 2-1 at home to Harrogate V thanks to goals from Mike Jacobsen and Tom Feetenby.

Tadcaster edged out City of York VII 4-3, with Rob Abell and David Lancaster (2) on target for the latter.

City of York X thrashed Ben Rhydding Development 6-0. Rohan Korolkiewicz and Heather Ridsdale both recorded braces with Cora Seth and Emily Hallam also on the scoresheet.

City of York III were due to host Sheffield University Bankers II but the game was not played due to the South Yorkshire club being short of players.
