A First Win

York went into the match in high hopes having secured a creditable draw last time out against the league leaders, it was hoped that Scarborough, without a win and beaten heavily by Selby themselves would provide our first win.
It turned out to be a close match with York edging the game 1-0. Scarborough were better than their previous results indicated; possibly by the inclusion of a former York first team player at the heart of their midfield.
However, the dynamic duo of George and Nat in midfield ensured that he could not dictate play and indeed it was York who played some good passing hockey who controlled much of the first half. Only the finishing touch was missing.
York started the second half very brightly again and within 4 minutes of the restart, Neil scored for the second match in a row following some good build up play from the York midfield. Much of the second half was even with York trying to find a second goal to finish of the match and Scarborough trying to find a way back into the contest.
Scarborough finally started threatening in the last 15 minutes, mainly due to the ex York first teamer; but the midfield and defence were resolute and survived for a well earned win.
Man of the match: George for his constant battling in midfield; ably supported by Keyesy
