9 OUT OF 9 AWAY WINS PUTS BORO BACK ON TOP.

This was another terrific performance by a confident Boro side which would put them back on top of the league once again.

Boro attacked from the start of this fixture and had one perfectly good goal ruled out for offside in the opening minutes, and had it not been for the impressive form of the Rossington 'keeper then Boro could have been at least 4 goals up in the opening 20 minutes.

But in spite of their prolonged pressure and superiority, Boro were to fall behind in the 35th minute. Rossington's Nathan Millington scored an excellent goal, his shot from the edge of the area left Reid stranded in the Boro goal as the ball flew into the top corner.

Unbelievable, and if you could have seen the expression on the face of the Rossington manager, it was obvious that he too could not believe that his side had just taken the lead, I was standing to the side of his dugout and he just looked at the Boro fans who had been giving him a bit of stick and his face just said it all. If last seasons manager Ian Dring had still been there in charge he would have been jumping about swearing at the Boro fans and probarbly asking anyone with an opinion if they would care to meet him after the game in the car park,it is a much better club without him.

So it was to be another piece of half time magic from boss Brian France, although the team had done nothing wrong throughout the first half, so it was not a question of getting the team to play any better, we had just been very unlucky, however it only took 3 minutes of the 2nd half for Boro to get back on level terms and just another 5 minutes to see us take the lead.

Dave Hartas headed home a Joel Hartley corner in the 48th minute and Ryan Blott scored the first of his trick in the 53rd minute, Ryan scored his 2nd goal 3 minutes later, easily sailing past the Rossington defence on both occasions.

Boro were the only team in it now, they had attack after attack and in the 65th minute Ryan Blott completed his hat trick to give Boro a 4-1 lead which they kept until the final whistle.

Another great display by Scarborough Athletic and a great day out at Rossington Main Football Club, who made the travelling Boro fans most welcome both inside the ground and in the Welfare Club afterwards.

2 home games now follow, we have just won 9 successive away games and it will be great to get back to Queensgate where we host Tadcaster Albion on Tuesday evening and follow that with the visit of Stavely MW on Saturday.

UP THE BORO........
