Hockey women’s 1sts win Yorkshire League opener
THE UNIVERSITY of York women’s 1sts hockey team began their Yorkshire League campaign with a 1-0 win over Driffield 2nds.

York will continue their Yorkshire League campaign next week at home to Dewsbury 1sts, as they look to extend their promising start to the season.
