York City Ladies got their campaign off to a disappointing start with a 2-0 defeat to promoted Wakfield.

The game started well for City as they created early chances but failed to capitalise. Wakefield scored against the run of play with a stunning long range shot giving goalkeeper Bev Woods no chance.

Wakefield's second came when City were caught on the break.

AFC Preston are City's next opponents at Civil Service on Sunday 1pm k.o.

City are looking for a sponsor. Anyone interested should contact Abbi Webster tel 01904 782498.
