27 April 2013 - Glasshoughton Welfare v Scarborough Athletic


Scarborough Athletic FC 
Northern Counties East League
2012 - Premier Champions - 2013

The final NCEL League game of 2012/13 for Scarborough Athletic. The Champions had been crowned and promotion certain the previous week after their 2-0 victory over Click Here : >> Retford United. This was a day of celebration for the hundreds of "Seadogs" who made the journey to Glasshoughton Welfare, who along with Long Eaton United and Pickering Town were the only three clubs to defeat Rudy Funk's troops throughout the NCEL Premier League season. We'd like to thank everyone at Scarborough Athletic FC for their help and support throughout last season and we'd also like to thank Garry Willis of Glasshoughton Welfare for his help and support on the day.

The Scarborough Athletic NCEL story began on 11 August 2007, a 2-1 defeat at Teversal, six seasons later, 27 April 2013 saw The Seadogs lose by the same scoreline at Glasshoughton Welfare.  Promotion from Division One in only their second season and never finishing below 10th place in the NCEL Premier League, "The Seadog Story" will continue into the new season, a new league and hopefully very soon, a new stadium in their home town.

We look forward to carrying on recording through our photography, the success story that is happening at Scarborough Athletic FC.

16 March 2013 - Parkgate v Scarborough Athletic

Always a pleasure to visit Roundwood Complex, as is shown on our previous visits this season.  Today's visitors were top of the NCEL Premier League, Scarborough Athletic. Currently on a twelve match unbeaten run, Parkgate were the next opponents for Rudy Funk's "Seadogs". A 4-2 victory for the soon to be crowned League Champions, with two goals from Jimmy Beadle, Ryan Blott's 35th of the season and a first for recent signing, Bryan Hughes. 

Special Thanks to all the people at Parkgate FC  who have made No Clash Of Colours very welcome at every fixture we've covered.

The largest NCEL Premier Division crowd at Parkgate this season.
The promotion of Scarborough Athletic to the EvoStik NPL will ultimately deprive many clubs in the NCEL  a decent payday, an excellent away following at this level of football puts hundreds of pounds into the home club's coffers, be it from programme sales to money behind the bar. A crowd of over 250 could well have lead to their being a four figure sum in the home club's account by full time on this Saturday.

Jimmy Beadle
Scorer of the second and fourth 'Borough goals. He was to eventually end the season on eleven goals from thirteen appearances (excluding substitutes).

"Goalpost Architecture"
Visible above the goal is a safety netting, this runs all the way across the goal area, helping keep the tea-ladies and snackbar volunteers safe from any wayward shot or blazing penalty miss!

"Reserved"
Parkgate as seen in previous photographs wear an all red strip, so why are the main stand seats and ground paintwork, blue?  The answer lies within a previous feature from Parkgate if you're curious to discover why.
