YORK City Ladies were knocked out of the Yorkshire Cup after a 4-1 second round defeat at Hull.

Kelly Chesterton scored City's consolation after Hull had stormed into a four-goal lead.

Defender Nicky Weyman was voted player of the match and City return to league action this Sunday with a home match against Wakefield when they will be looking for a return to the form that saw them unbeaten in their first six outings.

City Ladies reserves let a two-goal lead slip to give Scarborough a point in an ill-tempered Yorkshire and Humberside League Division One East clash.

Striker Melissa Campbell headed the home side in front after connecting with a Nic Whelan set-piece and York doubled their lead when Jo Gardiner's free kick was dealt with poorly by the Boro 'keeper and Justine Blackburn reacted quickest to fire in her second goal of the season.

But in the second-half an ugly mess of bad challenges and furious reactions failed to bring any punishment from a lenient referee.

York could not hold on despite a string of fantastic saves from player of the match Laura Fortune and the Seadogs fought back for a point.

Scunthorpe side Winterton Rangers are the next visitors to the Knavesmire on Sunday.
