Ryan Blott was welcomed back to the Boro fold after his short stint at Whitby Town. Also welcomed back to Queensgate were former local favourites Gary Hepples and Dave Thompson, although they were playing for todays opponents Pickering Town. Along with Ryan Blott Danny Moore, Mark Griffin and Dave Hartas also returned to the Boro starting line-up.
Ryan Blott had a hand in the Boro opening goal, after he was fouled he then took the resulting free kick himself which resulted in a Pikes defender's attempted clearance actually ending up in the back of his own net giving Boro the lead that they deserved. Craig Hogg had the chance to double the lead shortly after the opening goal but his shot following a half save by the Pikes 'keeper from a terrific Joel Hartley shot somehow went wide of the post.
The half time score was 1-0.
The 2nd half kicked off and Boro maintained the pressure which they had inflicted on the Pikes throughout the 1st half but it took until the 73rd minute before their pressure finally paid off with the 2nd goal of the game.
An eagle eyed assistant had alerted the referee to a handball in the Pikes penalty area and up stepped Scott Phillips to calmly send the ball into the back of the Pikes goal and double his teams lead in the game.
Another excellent victory for Scarborough Athletic which opened up their lead at the top of the table to 5 points.
Today's team.

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.
