6-1 AWAY VICTORY AT AFC EMLEY.........

A crowd of 461 watched as Scarborough Athletic crushed promotion rivals AFC Emley 6-1 in West Yorkshire.
Skipper Graham Botham put 'Boro' ahead after just 2 minutes of play.
Ryan Blott scored the first of his brace on 20 minutes. Emley did pull one goal back but 'Boro's' Danny Gray scored goal number 3 for 'Boro' just before half time.
That remained the score as the teams left the field after 45 minutes.
A Scott Phillips penalty increased the lead after just 4 minutes of the restart, Ryan Blott had been fouled in the Emley area by midfielder Sean Hazelden and Phillips made no mistake with his effort.
On 80 minutes Ryan Blott scored his 2nd goal and 'Boro's 5th as he neatly chipped the ball over the advancing goalkeeper.
Goal number 6 came from the penalty spot, after the Emley 'keeper had pushed 'boro's' Griffin the referee rightly awarded the spot kick and it was Griffin himself who took the kick to give a final score of Emley 1 Scarborough Athletic 6.
Boro are now 3rd in the league table just 2 points behind leaders Askern Villa but with a massive 4 games in hand and the same 2 points behind 2nd placed Pontefract and they have 2 games in hand over Pontefract.
4th placed Barton are 3 points behind Boro having played the same number of games as Boro.
Next Saturday is the FA Vase fixture against Blackstones when we could well be one step closer to a dream Wembley appearance.
