Unfortunately for 'Gate, fellow strugglers Ben Rhydding 2s managed to upset Stokesley, meaning that Barnard and her team-mates slipped to the foot of the table.
Next up for the Ladies 1s is a trip to local rivals City of York this Saturday (2.30pm).

Charles Edmondson netted the hosts' consolation in the 67th minute, with his team already eight goals down.

In Yorkshire Division Two, Harrogate Men's 2s moved to within a point of leaders City of York 3s after coming from behind to beat Sheffield University Bankers 3s.
