SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC 0 LEEDS MET CARNEGIE 2;
AN EXCELLENT CROWD OF 420 WITNESSED A RARE DEFEAT FOR 'THE BORO'.
WE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEATEN THE LEEDS MET' TEAM 4-1 IN THE AWAY FIXTURE NEAR THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON AND WERE FEELING CONFIDENT TODAY, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING OUR PRESENT 5 MATCH UNBEATEN RUN AND THE WAY THAT WE HAVE DOMINATED THOSE GAMES.
HOWEVER IT WAS NOT TO BE BORO'S DAY, WE STARTED WELL ENOUGH, AND WHEN SCOTT PHILLIPS WAS BROUGHT DOWN ON THE EDGE OF THE LEEDS MET' PENALTY AREA, IT SEEMED LIKE ANOTHER DOMINANT BORO DISPLAY WAS ON THE CARDS.
BORO DID HAVE THEIR CHANCES DURING THE FIRST HALF, BUT THE SCORE REMAINED AT 0-0 AS THE REF' BLEW FOR HALF TIME.
THE SECOND HALF WAS A DISAPPOINTMENT, BORO DID NOT SEEM LIKE THE TEAM THAT HAVE GIVEN SO MUCH IN THEIR PAST FEW GAMES, THEY ACTUALLY SEEMED TIRED, AND IT WAS LEEDS MET WHO TOOK THE LEAD AFTER 20 MINUTES, A SHOT FROM PAUL HARRISON LEFT DAVE BRAMLEY IN THE BORO GOAL STRANDED, BORO HAD A COUPLE OF CHANCES BUT BRAMLEY ALSO MADE SOME EXCELLENT SAVES HIMSELF, BUT RIGHT ON THE 90TH MINUTE IT WAS LEEDS MET WHO DOUBLED THEIR LEAD AS SUBSTITUTE ALEX O' BRIEN SENT A LONG RANGE SHOT HIGH INTO THE CORNER OF THE NET WELL OUT OF 'KEEPER BRAMLEY'S REACH.
IT WAS NOT A TERRIBLE PERFORMANCE FROM BORO AND I AM SURE THAT MANAGER BRIAN FRANCE WILL HAVE THE PLAYERS CONFIDENTLY READY FOR THE NEXT GAME WHICH IS AWAY TO STAVELY NEXT SATURDAY.
UP THE BORO..................................................
THE BORO TEAM TODAY;
BRAMLEY, WOOD, KEMP, WALTHAM, PHILLIPS, HEPPLES, GRIFFIN, WIDDOWSON, BLOTT, MEDCALFE, BOTHAM.
SUBS;
WILBERFORCE, BOWSLEY, TATE.
NICE TO SEE ROSSINGTON MAIN SUFFER YET ANOTHER DEFEAT.
SCARBOROUGH FOOTBALL CLUB WERE FORCED INTO LIQUIDATION AT THE END OF THE 2006-07 SEASON. A NEW TRUST RUN CLUB HAS NOW BEEN FORMED "SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC" AND THIS BLOG WILL FOLLOW THEIR FORTUNES, BOTH ON AND OFF THE FOOTBALL FIELD. UP THE BORO !!!
THIS BLOG WAS CREATED FROM THE VERY BEGINNINGS OF SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC'S FORMATION
Scarborough Athletic F.C were formed on June 25th 2007 following the winding up order imposed on the old club after the local council turned down the club's survival plans. The club were finally forced into liquidation with debts of £2.5 million by a High Court judge, and so ended the club's magnificent 128 year history, no thoughts or consideration was to be spared for anyone connected with the club or the towns footballing public. However a trust had been formed and we were prepared for such a situation should it arise. The Seadog Trust applied to the Northern Counties East League to enter newly formed Scarborough Athletic and they were succesful in their application.
The new club are a continuation of the old one, they have the same kit, badge, motto etc and most importantly have kept a large number of the old supporters. This blog was started by me from the very beginnings of Scarborough Athletic FC and will follow the fortunes, both good and bad of the newly formed club as they try to get back to the higher levels of the football pyramid where they rightly belong. A rival team has also been formed 'Scarborough Town', I do not expect that particular club will have much of a future, but do they realise the damage that they are causing to the future success of football in the town, our town cannot support 2 teams, Athetic are here to stay, we are the town's number one football team and will return to the higher levels of the game in the next few seasons..
THIS BLOG WAS ESTABLISHED FROM THE BEGINNINGS OF SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC AND WILL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THE CLUB ON THEIR JOURNEY BACK TO THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE. I AM NOT HERE TO ADVERTISE OR MAKE MONEY FROM 3RD PARTY LISTINGS, I AM HERE TO SIMPLY FOLLOW THE CLUB AND TRY TO KEEP THIS BLOG AS INTERESTING AS POSSIBLE. COMMENTS ARE WELCOME.
