Scarborough Lift Trophy Ahead Of Crunch League Game

Thursday, 27 April 2023 09:38

By Paddy

Scarborough Athletic beat South Park Rangers 4-1 last night at the LNER Community Stadium in York to win the North Riding Senior Cup.

It's the second season in succession that Boro have lifted the trophy.

Scarborough went behind to the Northern League Division 2 leaders after a mistake from Keeper Matt Bancroft enabled Sean O'Brien to head into an empty net.

It wasn't long before Scarborough were level through a Dom Tear goal, sticking his foot onto the end of a shot-cum-cross.

Jake Charles gave the Seadogs the lead a few minutes later with a cute back heel from a cross.

In the 2nd half, both teams had chances but Boro had more posession and tested Rangers Keeper Knowles a number of times.

Scarborough put the game to bed with two late goals, coming from youngster Billy Leach who was in the squad from the reserves and from Kieran Weledji who beat the offside trap to slot home from close range.

Boro boss Jono Greening was banned from the touchline and will be on Saturday, following a notification pre match after an incident earlier in the season. So, in his place, Paddy spoke to Assistant Manager Michael Ingham shortly after the final whistle:

Scarborough will secure a playoff place with a win at home to Bandbury on Saturday. There are 10 teams who are all in with a chance of securing 1 of 4 available playoff positions.

Boro could finish as high as 4th but a draw or defeat could see them slip out of the playoff places for the first time in months on the final day.

The club advise fans to buy their ticket online in advance.

If you really can't make Saturday's game, we have full match commentary on This Is The Coast Extra from shortly before kick off.
