DINNINGTON TOWN NOW HAVE A MASSIVE 13 POINT LEAD AT THE TOP OF THE NORTHERN COUNTIES EAST LEAGUE, DIVISION ONE TABLE THANKS TO AN AWAY VICTORY AT TADCASTER ALBION.
ANT LYNAM WAS ONCE AGAIN ON THE SCORESHEET, HIS 22nd MINUTE PENALTY OPENED THE SCORING FOR TOWN AND THEY RAN OUT EVENTUAL 2-1 WINNERS.
TOWN ONLY NEED TO ADD ANOTHER 3 POINTS TO THEIR TOTAL TO GUARANTEE FINISHING THE SEASON AS CHAMPIONS.
HALL ROAD RANGERS PRODUCED AN IMPRESSIVE 3-2 VICTORY AWAY TO STAVELY AND ARE NOW 3 POINTS BEHIND 2nd PLACED RAINWORTH MW, BUT THE RANGERS DO HAVE 2 GAMES IN HAND ON RAINWORTH.
SHOCK OF THE DAY WAS THE DEFEAT OF 4th PLACED GEDLING TOWN AT THE HANDS OF LOWLY ROSSINGTON MAIN.
MAIN WERE EVENTUAL 4-3 WINNERS THANKS TO AN 89th MINUTE PENALTY SCORED BY SEAN GREAVES.
THE OTHER FIXTURE PLAYED WAS THE 3-3 DRAW BETWEEN TEVERSAL AND EMLEY.
SCARBOROUGH ATHLETIC WILL MOVE INTO 6th PLACE ON EASTER MONDAY IF THEY WIN THEIR MATCH AGAINST BORROWASH.
THEY WILL GO ABOVE BOTH LEEDS MET' AND STAVELY ALL ON 46 POINTS BUT BORO HAVE A FAR SUPERIOR GOAL DIFFERENCE.
BORO COULD BE PLAYING IN FRONT OF THEIR BIGGEST CROWD TO DATE IN THIS FIXTURE WHICH KICKS OFF AT 3.00 pm AT THE QUEENSGATE GROUND.
AFTER THE BORROWASH FIXTURE BORO HAVE ANOTHER 2 HOME MATCHES, ONE AGAINST 'TEVERSAL' AND THEN THE SIDE WHO WILL NO DOUBT BE EVENTUAL CHAMPIONS 'DINNINGTON TOWN'. 2 EXCELLENT GAMES TO LOOK FORWARD TO, THEY ARE FOLLOWED BY TRIPS TO PONTEFRACT AND BORROWASH BEFORE THE FINAL MATCH OF THE SEASON AN AWAY DAY AT STAVELY, I WOULD EXPECT BORO TO GAIN 15 POINTS FROM THESE FIXTURES AND FINISH IN THE TOP FOUR.
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.
