Despite being without almost half their first choice line-up due to illness Acomb Ladies scored an impressive 5-2 win over Bingley in division one of the Yorkshire Women's League.
Acomb set the tone early on when good efforts by Sarah Clay and Kerry Rafton were scrambled clear by the Bingley defence, but they grabbed the lead when Vicky Winters' shot was blocked only for Clay to force home the rebound.
Bingley improved in the second half but were stopped in their tracks when Winters blasted in a second from a short corner and the floodgates opened with Megan Harlock scoring after good work by Sally Kelsey, and then captain Rafton slammed in two more.
Bingley managed to rally late in the game to grab two goals but Acomb were already comfortable winners.
A frantic finale saw City of York Ladies salvage a 2-2 draw from their North League division one clash with Driffield.
City took an early lead against newly promoted Driffield when Karen Howell's intelligent pass from a short corner was touched in by Paula Clough.
However, ten minutes before half-time York failed to clear a Driffield short corner and they were punished by an equaliser.
In the second half City were angered when a Sally Sleightholme goal was ruled out, but they were almost left to rue a string of missed chances.
With barely a minute left Driffield managed to force in a goal from a short corner, but City swept upfield and from their own penalty corner award Sleightholme scored from close range just seconds before the final whistle.
In division two City of York II drew 1-1 with Richmond, Katy Graver their scorer, while in division seven City of York III were without a game as opponents Lockwood Park have withdrawn from the league.

They started in eager fashion but their efforts came to nothing and they went into the second half with the contest still goalless.
It looked as though Huddersfeild's resolute defence would hold out for fully 70 minutes, but with eight minutes remaining Sarah Thomas fired Tadcaster in front and then wrapped up victory with a second just before full-time.
