Yet another brilliant away performance by Scarborough Athletic F.C.
Todays opponents were Barnsley based Worsbrough Bridge.
Boro had new signing 'Ryan Morton' in the starting line-up just one day after the youngster signed for the club. Ryan had a really impressive debut and I am certain that he is going to prove an excellent addition to the squad.
Boro began in their usual attacking manner and although Worsbrough had their chances it really was only a matter of time before Boro took the lead.
On a difficult sloping pitch it was Boro who were kicking "up the slope" in the first half, but on 35 minutes following a cross from the young Ryan Morton, that other Ryan-(Blott) was on hand to head the ball home and give Boro a deserved 1-0 lead.
Within a matter of minutes Boro had doubled their lead.
Following a foul on Ryan Blott on the edge of the Worsbrough area, Jamie Waltham took the resulting free kick and following a rebound off the post Scott Phillips was in the right place at the right time to put the ball in the net from close range, It was good to see Scott back on the scoresheet and I am sure his goal will do his confidence a power of good.
So, half time came with the score 2-0 to Boro.
As Boro would have the advantage of the slope in the second half, as well as a 2-0 lead and totally dominating the play then things were looking very good and the three points should be safely in the bag.
Boro had the ball in the Worsbrough net twice but both times the goal was disallowed by the referee. Jamie Waltham was particularly unlucky as he was adjudged to have commited a foul before he scored what I thought to be a legitimate goal.
Ryan Morton was taken off after he had received a slight knock and was replaced by Anthony Bowsley, Brian France probarbly had Tuesday nights visit to Tadcaster in mind as Blott and Wood were also replaced by Hogg and Widdowson respectively.
It was in fact Craig Hogg who eventually got Boro's third goal in the 79th minute of the game, a cross from Griffin was met by Hogg but the Worsbrough goalkeeper made a decent save but Hogg remained calm and headed home the rebound off the keeper.
So a 3-0 victory and if Boro had been given the penalty which they should have and if Waltham's goal had been allowed to stand as it should have then that would have shown a more realistic scoreline as Boro had dominated the game, but 3-0 away from home can't be bad can it.
I would guess that there were arond 180 Boro fans in the ground and again they all went home in happy mood as another excellent all-round performance by a very good Boro team had been witnessed, manager Brian France has and continues to work miracles for his new club, If there was a manager of the month award in this league then I don't think anyone could argue that Brian would win it hands down.
I had not seen most of the present players prior to their joining Boro, but I do wonder how much they have improved their game under the leadership of Brian and his team, I am certain that Ryan Morton will prove to be a great signing for Boro, defenders will not look forward to playing against the youngster.
There are great times ahead for Scarborough Athletic Football Club........................
