Match report - Beverley vs Scarborough Valkyries

Another exciting and competitive game for the Valkyries, with the Scarborough girls coming out on top. Torrential rain and hail in the first half didn't put either team off with both sides showing off some great attacking rugby.

Valkyries were on the score board first with two tries early on. Beverley came back strong in the second half with excellent pace on the wing. A tough period for the Valkyries followed, with Beverley looking to close the gap. However the Valkyries' determined defensive efforts led to a crucial turn over to take the pressure off. A few more tries from the Scarborough ladies sealed the win.

Stand out players included Kate Ryan in the forwards as well as Sophie Knaggs at 9, Phoebe Starbuck putting in try saving tackles at full back and Sam Knight stepping up at last minute and putting a shift in at 12.

Amazing hospitality from the Beverley Ladies and it's brilliant to see the progression you make as a team each time we play each other.

The Valkyries still have 3 league fixtures to play, with the next game being away at Pocklington on 19th April 2pm KO, followed by two home games to finish off the season on 25th April and 3rd May.

Match report - Scarborough Valkyries vs Driffield Women 2nd XV

The Scarborough ladies made an impressive comeback on Sunday against a strong Driffield side. A high scoring match on both sides, with plenty of running rugby shown off and huge defensive efforts from both teams.

Driffield took the lead with 2 tries early in the game. Scarborough then came back through scrum-half Sophie Knaggs, followed up quickly by Captain Hannah Smith and converted by Courtney Byerley to take the lead. Sophie scored twice more, to lead the Valkyries into half time with a score of 26-10. The second half saw Driffield attacking well to keep the score close. However Scarborough stayed composed, scoring 3 more times and finishing the game 43-30 to the Valkyries - Sophie Knaggs having scored 6, yes 6, tries!
