Scarborough Athletic FC - 5 Wins On The Bounce (And Ton Up)
Scarborough Athletic FC beat Selby Town 2-1 this afternoon in a hard-fought encounter.
Played on an absolute bog of a surface, Selby had the upper hand initially (with the elements on their side somewhat) & they took the lead in the 22nd minute.
Boro battled back though through a stunning strike from Dunning and a second-half Medcalf winner.
It wasn't pretty but the win was Boro's 5th NCEL win on the trot & the 100th competitive victory since formation.
The Seadogs have a chance for 6 straight wins this Tuesday when Lincolnshire outfit Winterton Rangers come-a-calling.

First Ever Scarborough Athletic FC U19's Game Announced
Great news for football in Scarborough!
Details have emerged about the first game of football to be played by Scarborough Athletic FC's U19 team.
First Game For Boro U19's
The game (a friendly) will take place at Bishop Burton College on Friday 4th March and the opponents will be the U19 team of our landlords Bridlington Town FC.
As the article suggests, more friendly fixtures are planned later on in the season.
It is hoped the Seadogs U19's can be entered into a competitive league for the 2012/13 season. Which league & home venue is yet to be announced.
This is an important piece of the jigsaw for Scarborough Athletic FC and congratulations are due to all involved in its instigation. Good luck to the management and players, let us hope it proves to be a fertile source of future Seadog first-teamers.

Umpteenth Postponement For Scarborough Athletic FC
The weather-fragmented 2011/12 season continues to provide boggy frustration for Scarborough Athletic FC.
Tonight's NCEL Premier clash at Arnold Town has succumbed to the recent heavy rain & the pitch down there in Notts is waterlogged.
The Seadogs will now try for their 5th win on the trot (and 100th ever win) this Saturday when we entertain fellow North Yorkshiremen Selby Town at Queensgate.
Weather permitting!

Scarborough Athletic FC On Verge Of 100th Competitive Victory
Since formation in June 2007 (following the sad demise of former Football League club Scarborough FC) Scarborough Athletic FC have (to date) played a total of 169 competitive games in League & Cup.
The results of these are broken down as follows:
W 99
D 26
L 44
Therefore the next Seadog victory (in competitive action) will represent a milestone as it will be win number 100.
The first bite of the "100-up" apple comes this Tuesday (22 Feb) when the Seadogs head to Nottinghamshire to take on Arnold Town FC in a NCEL Premier fixture.

And Yet Another Postponement For Scarborough Athletic FC (Part 94)
Another Saturday, another postponement.
Yet again the Seadogs have fallen afoul of current nemesis - the waterlogged pitch.
A torrential downpour in East Yorkshire has rendered Hall Road Rangers FC's Dene Park unplayable & would-be visitors Boro must twiddle their thumbs for another weekend.
It looks like most of the other NCEL Premier fixtures have suffered the same fate although, ironically, our landlords Bridlington Town & near neighbours Pickering Town look ( at time of posting ) to have gotten away with it and will stage matches this afternoon.
With Scarborough Athletic Reserves also following the postponement suit, it is an afternoon with Geoff Stelling & Co for Seadog Blog :-(

Scarborough Athletic FC - Boing Boing Boing Boing - 4 On The Bouce
Last night, in the 95th minute, Scarborough Athletic won an absolute roller-coaster of a match to record four NCEL Premier wins on the bounce.
Lincoln Moorlands Railway 3-4 Scarborough Athletic was the result, but that cold scoreline alone fails to convey the drama of the last few minutes.
The ding-dong affair panned out thusly:
19 lincoln mr 0-1 SCARBOROUGH ATH
42 LINCOLN MR 1-1 scarborough ath
53 LINCOLN MR 2-1 scarborough ath
70 lincoln mr 2-2 SCARBOROUGH ATH
84 lincoln mr 2-3 SCARBOROUGH ATH
87 LINCOLN MR 3-3 scarborough ath
90 lincoln mr 3-4 SCARBOROUGH ATH
The winner was actually scored in the 5th minute of time added on and apart from the re-start was the last kick of the game.
Scenes of great jubilation at the ground and in cyberspace!
The Seadogs now sit on the cusp of 5 wins on the bounce, that opportunity arises this coming Saturday (19th Feb) when the relatively short journey to Dunswell will be made in order to take on Hall Road Rangers FC.
Can Boro make it a "fifer"

Scarborough Athletic FC Go For Four!
The Seadogs are south of the Humber Bridge tonight as they bid for 4 straight NCEL Premier wins on the bounce.
They face stiff opposition from hosts Lincoln Moorlands Railway FC who themselves are in the midst of a decent run.
You can keep in the picture by following the hashtag #safclive on twitter.
#safclive
Forget Arsenal v Barcelona - this is where it is at.

And Yet Another Postponement For Scarborough Athletic FC
Another Saturday, another postponement for the Seadogs.
This afternoons NCEL game against high flyers Parkgate was called off this morning due to a waterlogged Queensgate pitch.
Boro v Parkgate OFF
It is a shame because the Seadogs have found good form recently and were striving for 4 wins on the bounce.
Another pain is that the rearranged game will be yet another midweek game and those invariably attract lower gates than would be the case on a Saturday.
Talking of midweek matches, Scarborough Athletic will be in action on Wednesday night (16th February) when they visit Lincoln Moorland Railway FC - Here's hoping the Seadogs keep the winning momentum going.

The Scarborough Athletic FC #SAFCLIVE Hashtag Comes Of Age On Twitter
Last nights 1-7 romp on the pitch at Dinnington was enjoyable enough for any Seadog, but off the pitch (on Twitter to be exact) something else remarkable was occurring.
For those who do not know Tweeting Seadogs use the hashtag #safclive whilst Boro games are in progress thus enabling all tweets relating to the match to be seen together as a collective.
A snapshot of how it looks is shown below, taken at a time when Boro went 4-0 up last night.
But the stand-out stat from last night is that were nearly 100 tweets over the course of the 90 minutes. No Seadog can count them self out of the picture if they follow the #safclive hashtag. The stats below show that there were approximately 40 #safclive tweets for last Saturdays home game with Liversedge and a whopping near 100 for last nights affair.
This information was taken from #safclive hashtag page on "WhatTheTrend"
The high amount of #safclive tweets did not go unnoticed by those who seek out the "Twitteratti" because only a few minutes after last nights game finished the following tweet appeared
Fame indeed!
I guess the main point of this posting is to encourage as many Seadogs as possible to sign up to Twitter and join in the #safclive conversation, the more tweets using the #safclive hashtag the higher the clubs online profile (which is already very good) will become. It costs nowt to join up & it can be done very easily on even the most basic of mobile phones.
There are several ways of viewing the collective tweets, just do a search for #safclive on whatever device you use to tweet or by viewing the #safclive twitterfall or the aforementioned http://wthashtag.com/Safclive
When games are not in progress all the latest Boro news is tweeted out on a regular basis by tweeters such as @safc and @seadogupdate

Dinnington Town 1 - 7 Scarborough Athletic - Unbeaten Run Continues....And How!
Scarborough Athletic FC's recent upsurge in fortune continued last night in no uncertain fashion.
They beat, nay, thrashed Dinnington Town by 7 goals to 1 and in so doing equalled their record away victory (set at Bottesford Town in October 2008).
It could be argued that last nights victory carried the greater weight as it was achieved at step 5 level whereas the Bottesford triumph was realised one rung lower down the football pyramid at step 6.
Those who were there tweeted out news of four Ryan Blott goals, one from Billy Law and no less than two own-goals courtesy of the beleaguered Dinno defence ( although one of o.g's has since been credited to Boro's Jenkinson)
So that is three NCEL Premier wins out of three for Boro. Good stuff and no mistake. A sterner test probably awaits on Saturday when second-placed Parkgate FC visit Queensgate, but when Boro play to their best then I reckon them a match for any in this Division.

Scarborough Athletic FC Back2Boro Pin Badges
Scarborough Athletic FC Back On The Back-To-Back Win Trail
For the 1st time since September, Scarborough Athletic FC have managed to record back-to-back wins in the NCEL Premier.
Last Tuesday's 1-0 win over Tadcaster Albion was followed up on Saturday with a fine 5-1 triumph over lowly Liversedge Town. Two home wins in succession.
Hopefully this heralds the start of a consistent phase of the season for Boro.
We will find out in quick order because the Seadogs travel to Dinnington tomorrow night (Tuesday 7th) in a bid to win three on the bounce.

Scarborough Athletic 1 - 0 Tadcaster Albion - A Historical Landmark Reached
Last night Scarborough Athletic FC shrugged off recent indifferent results to record a battling 1-0 victory over in-form Tadcaster Albion.
That, in itself, is good news but the overriding memory will be that goalscorer Ryan Blott notched his 100th goal (in just three and a bit seasons) for the Seadogs. A magnificent achievement.
"Blotty" is one of a handful of players that have represented both the old Scarborough FC and the Phoenix club Scarborough Athletic FC.
He is a credit to the memory of the old & a source of inspiration to the new.
Long may he keep knocking 'em in.
