FANTASTIC EAST COAST DERBY ENDS ALL SQUARE AS BORO AND TOWN SHARE 6 GOALS.

BORO' BOSS RUDY FUNK.

 

BORO FAN CHELSEY.

The much awaited game between ourselves and our landlord's Bridlington Town lived up to all its expectations as the teams fought out a magnificent 3-3 draw at a sunny but  cold Queensgate.

MOST ENVIED BENCH IN THE LEAGUE !

  There was a new record attendance for the NCEL Premier division, as 1,247 fans were in the ground, the Boro' fans outnumbered the 'home' fans, in fact I hardly heard any noises of celebration following the 3 Town goals.

CARRY ON TWEETING.

  It was exciting from the first whistle, and Boro' deservedly took the lead through Paddy Miller, but the celebrations from Boro fans was shortlived when Town equalised after what seemed no more than a minute after Boro's opener.
 Manager  Rudy Funk could not believe the equaliser, and repeatedly said "Why do they always do this" as he faced his bench, like you Rudy  we don't know the answer either.

UP THE BORO !

  Boro were on top and should have extended their lead further rather

than let it slip.

TOWN DEFENDING.

  Worse was to follow as Town sneaked a second goal to take the lead, but Boro's Jimmy Beadle came to the rescue and put us level to give us a 2-2 scoreline at half time.
  The second half continued in much the same way as the first half finished with Boro looking the stronger side and sure enough we took the lead again, it was Ryan Blott this time, but as the half progressed Town were getting more into the game, and to be fair both sides looked capable of scoring the next goal.

I'M STARVING, HOW LONG IS THE QUEUE.

  Town eventually found the back of the Boro' net as Greening put his side level at 3-3
  Town were so lucky when they cleared their goal line with the 'keeper beaten and Boro's Arran Reid also made a fantastic close range save at the other end.

ANOTHER BORO' ATTACK.

  Both sides looked desperately for a winning goal, Town were reduced to 10 men, and just before the end play was stopped for what felt like around 10 minutes as Town's former Boro defender Frank Belt fell awkwardly and dislocated his elbow, an ambulance had to be called, and hopefully Frank will recover well from his injury.

SCOTT PHILLIPS "PHONE A FRIEND"

FRANK BELT FALLS AND DISLOCATES ELBOW.

  So a great game of football which had everything, and I think the referee "N Guest" and his assistants deserve some praise, I personally thought they had a really good afternoon, the referee had excellent control of the game and the players actually seemed to respect the man.
  The only downside of today for me was the whole 'Groundhoppers' nonesense, I have posted before about them, I do not see why they should dictate the admission charges set by clubs, and when they were questioned in the car park after the game they were rude and arrogant towards the fans who dared to question them. I for one will not miss this league if indeed we are lucky enough to gain promotion from it.
