On Sunday, the U23s host Middlesbrough Reserves at Crofton Community Centre (2pm).

Impressive Leeds United Women U19s secured three points and racked-up a clean sheet with a thumping 5-0 win over Boroughbridge.

The Leeds side had an average age of under-17 but they were unfazed by the transition to an open age league this season.

United stamped their authority on the game within the first few minutes with a well worked build up and goal from Megan Sharp. Leeds dominated possession but had to settle for one more goal in the first half, a lovely strike from Lauren Richardson.
