Four games are scheduled for division one of the NCEL tommorow evening (17.03.09).
Leaders Scarborough Athletic of course are travelling across the Humber Bridge to play Barton Town Old Boy's, and while the Boro are facing Barton just a few miles away at the Dene Park home of Hall Road Rangers, Parkgate will be the visitors for a game which will determine who Scarborough Athletic will face in the semi final of the President's Cup on March 31st. Both Parkgate and Rangers play in the Premier Division of the NCEL but I don't consider either of them a serious challenge to Boro, after all we beat a good Pickering Town side 7-1 in the last round.
Also playing tommorow night in Division 1 are Appleby Frodingham who are home to 2nd placed Askern Villa.
Rainworth MW, who had a creditable 4-1 victory over Hemsworth on Saturday host Yorkshire Amateur.
Teversal will go to Rossington with confidence after their 2-0 victory at Pontefract on Saturday.
Finally Worsbrough Bridge, 5-0 losers at Scarborough Athletic on Saturday are home to Leeds Carnegie who had a victory over Appleby Frodingham on Saturday.
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.
