Scunthorpe United Ladies entertained Hull City at the weekend and came away with a convincing 2-0 win.

The Ironesses dominated and controlled the first half with some good passages of play throughout the whole of the team.

The first goal came after 15 minutes when the hosts had a corner cleared but kept the pressure on Hull with an attack down the right, with Sue Green crossing in accurately for Claire West to convert with a strong low shot to give the goalkeeper no chance.

Scunthorpe had many chances with Lisa Telford and Donna Smithson coming close but it was Sue Hunsley who doubled their lead with a fierce shot just inside the box to crash home the second.

It was one way traffic and any attack Hull threatened was banished by a solid defence of Cooke, Harrison, Cook and Baker.

Scunthorpe had a goal disallowed when Deb Hearn fired home. Alleged pushing in the box meant the goal did not stand, so it remained at 2-0 at half time.

The second half saw Hull start with more passion and determination, but even though Hull had a few more attacking plays United worked well as a team and defended when they had to in a very organised professional way.

Bek Evans, in goal for the Ironesses, was commanding and, when called upon, was brave diving at the feet of the oncoming strikers.

Scunthorpe could have added more to their tally. Donna Smithson made a good run into the box late into the game and met a cross coming in from the right with a first time shot that narrowly missed.

No further goals were added in the second half, so the score remained 2-0 and meant Hull City are just about relegated.
