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.

'BORO' 3 WINTERTON RANGERS 1, THE UNBEATEN RUN CONTINUES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A strong performance by Boro on a cold Queensgate night ensured victory and put us another 3 points nearer the top of the league.


Man of the match, Gary Hepples.

Boro were by far the better team and after 20 minutes or so Gary Hepples, who would be my choice for  'man of the match' tonight opened the scoring, he and the Rangers 'keeper both went for a 50-50 ball and thankfully the ball ended up in the Rangers goal.
Graham Botham also had an excellent game and played some neat passes through the Rangers midfield and defence, but in spite of their dominance Boro had to settle for the 1-0 lead at half time.
2nd half it was still Boro who looked the most likely to score again and Ryan Blott had a terrific shot on target to double the score to 2-0.
Bill Law who had worked hard all game deservedly got his name on the scoresheet to make the score 3-0 which was a fair reflection on how the game had gone, but Rangers did manage to score a consolation goal when following a free kick everyone seemed to stand and watch as the ball went through everybody and straight into the net at the far post, Tom Woodhead in the Boro goal was unsighted but the defence should have dealt with the shot.
But a 3-1 victory against Winterton means that the unbeaten run is now 6 games.
Next is a trip to Thackley on Saturday and then the derby fixture with Bridlington Town next Tuesdasy evening.
UP THE BORO.............
