Boro won 3-0 away from home at Askern but manager Brian France was less than impressed with his teams performance.
Askern had chances to have taken the lead against Boro on numerous occasions, but 'keeper Aaron Reid made some excellent saves including a point blank header to keep his team in the game.
Half time arrived with the score still 0-0 and strong words would have been spoken in the Boro dressing room, Boro did improve in the second period, Ryan Blott was unlucky with a free kick just before Askerns Michael Evans received a red card from the referee for dissent, he had questioned the ref's decision to give a goal kick instead of a corner for his team, things got even worse for Askern just 7 minutes later as they were reduced to 9 men after Gary Evans had to be red carded also after nasty tackle number two.
It now had to be just a matter of when Boro would find the opening goal and they did not have to wait long as Ryan Blott found the back of the Askern net on 69 minutes.
4 minutes later Scott Phillips was fouled in the box and he took the resulting penalty and doubled the Boro's lead.
Finally, in the 90th minute Ryan Blott grabbed goal number 3 for Boro.
So in spite of a below par performance by the men in red we have extended the present unbeaten run to a magnificent 18 league games, the only defeat all season being the away fixture at Saturdays opponents Rainworth.
UP THE BORO.........
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.
