In a thrilling encounter between University of Leeds and Driffield, the home side triumphed 4-3 in a match that saw both teams go toe-to-toe from start to finish. The game was fast-paced, intense, and full of drama.

Driffield took an early lead within the first two minutes, as Bry Holtby opened the scoring with a top D strike that left the Leeds keeper no chance. The visitors were in control early, and just minutes later, they doubled their advantage through a clinical short corner strike from Kate Moore, making it 2-0.

However, Leeds were not deterred and mounted a strong comeback. Just before halftime, they pulled a goal back with a well-executed shot, taking the score to 2-1 and setting up an exciting second half.

The game continued with relentless energy after the break. Driffield extended their lead to 3-1 through Fiona Tuplin, who lobbed the Leeds keeper to finish a well-crafted move set up by Pip Lucas and Katie Lee. But Leeds responded with determination. With their attacking play growing increasingly potent, they scored three more goals, each one met with frustration from the Driffield side. The final blow came late in the game, when Leeds snatched the lead with their fourth goal, securing a hard-fought 4-3 victory.

It was a match that showcased grit and determination from both teams, with Leeds ultimately emerging as the victors in what was an emotional and heated contest.

Girly: Bry Holtby - for stops, blocks and shots!
