CUP queens Stamford Bridge Scorpions Under-12s turned the tables on City of York Girls Football League winners York RI with a final knockout triumph.
Having missed out on the championship, Scorpions won 2-1 after extra time in a tense final at Pocklington Town to lift the League Cup.
RI had done the double over Stamford Bridge in the league, but Scorpions struck in the second minute when Sophie Tinson created space and fed Millie Templeman to lash the ball home.
Having snuffed RI out for much of the half, a lobbed ball struck the Scorpions bar and as ’keeper Ella Spanton tried to grab the loose ball it was controversially bundled into the net for an equaliser.
The second half was a stalemate but in extra time the Scorpions settled the match when Templeman broke forward and played an inch perfect ball to Olivia Cant, who controlled neatly before drilling a shot into the corner of the net.
Another team to taste trophy glory were Fulford U10s, who also needed extra time to win their League Cup final against Copmanthorpe Cobras 3-2.
Fulford went into the final unbeaten all season, but they got off to a shaky start as the Cobras took a 2-0 half-time lead.
However, Fulford stormed back to force extra time with goals from Caitlyn Atkin and Jane Paxman and they completed a league and cup double thanks to a second from Atkin.
Manager David Atkin said: “It was a great come back from a champion side. Well done girls.”
York RI won the U13s final, beating Scarborough Ladies Reds 1-0, while the U14s cup went to Poppleton Tigers after their 5-1 win over Fulford Foxes.
Poppleton also took the U15s trophy after a 2-0 win over Harrogate Railway, while Scarborough Ladies beat Tockwith 2-1 in the U16s showpiece.
