STAMFORD Bridge sealed the City of York Girls’ Football League Under-13s Championship title with a 2-0 win at Copmanthorpe in their final game of the campaign.
A 0-0 home draw with York RI left Bridge needing a win from the last game and they triumphed thanks to goals from Olivia Cant, after only two minutes, and Ellie Whytock, on 29 minutes.
Player of the match was Bridge captain Alice Ella.
Bridge can complete a league and knockout double when they take on Poppleton in the League Cup final today.
A club spokesperson said: “This has been a memorable season for the champions.
“After losing their opening game back in September, they then went on a 13 match unbeaten run.
“They scored 46 goals and only conceded six and had nine clean sheets. The triumph is testimony to the players’ talent, hard work and discipline.”
