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.

13 April 2013 - Brighouse Town v Scarborough Athletic

Saturday 13 April, 2013. The "BIG ONE" at the summit of the Northern Counties East Premier League. Brighouse Town, second in the table, hot on the heels of a Scarborough Athletic who had been on a run of twenty seven consecutive games unbeaten in the League.  Both clubs featured prolific goalscorers, Tom Matthews (Brighouse Town) and Ryan Blott (Scarborough Athletic), who by the season's end had scored seventy-six NCEL goals between them. A record attendance of 1059 at The Dual Seal Stadium, made up by almost 800 supporters from Scarborough braved the cold and sleet on an afternoon where the League wouldn't be won, but the victors would take a giant step towards promotion.
