I was not at Nostell yesterday, and they have certainly become a bit of a bogey team for us.
The end of last season saw them beat us with an injury time winner in the 2nd leg of the Presidents Cup final and yesterday it was in the 93rd minute that Nostell were once again handed a victory over us, and once again against the run of play.
Nostell had taken a 21st minute lead yesterday and it took Boro a further 15 minutes to equalise through Graham Botham.
Nostell had been reduced to 10 men after about half an hour of the game after Benton was adjudged to have elbowed Boro's Paddy Miller who was making his league debut for the club.
Blatant time wasting was the way that Nostell played out the game and in the 3rd minute of injury time following a mistake by Boro 'keeper Reid, Darren Rushton was handed the simplest of chances to score the winning goal for his team.
So, a disappointing start to the season for Boro, but there is a long way to go and it should be remembered that in both of our excellent 2 previous seasons we did not win either of our opening day fixtures, so lets not be to despondent and look forward to a better day next Sunday in the FA Cup tie against Guisborough at Queensgate.

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.
