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.

20 April 2013 - Scarborough Athletic v Retford United [Set One]

Competition : Northern Counties East League - Premier Division
Result : Scarborough Athletic 2 Retford United 0
Attendance : 890

What a day! After being asked by Scarborough Athletic Chairman, Dave Holland if we'd like to cover the Seadog's final home match of the 2012/13 NCEL season, we didn't hesitate in accepting and looked forward to our first ever visit to Bridlington Town's ground, Queensgate, the tenant's home since 2007. Knowing promotion would be guaranteed if results went their way, a bumper crowd of 890 turned up with expectations high.  

This is the first of two sets of photographs from what was an eventful, emotional and eventually, a successful end to a season where The Seadogs of Scarborough Athletic finally gained promotion to the Evo-Stik League.

At the same time, Barton Town Old Boys had pulled another goal back and were now losing 2-3 at home to Brighouse Town. An 85th Tim Taylor equaliser for BTOB would ensure that the Championship and promotion would be guaranteed if 'Boro could hold on to the lead.

Supporters and Players celebrate the captain's goal.
