Scarborough Athletic in North Riding Senior Cup Action

Scarborough Athletic are back at the Mounting Systems Stadium on Tuesday night.

Jono Greening's men host Guisborough Town in the North Riding Senior Cup.

Speaking after Saturday's 2-1 win at Curzon Ashton, the Boro boss told SAFC TV it was great to turn things around after four successive defeats going into the weekend:

"When you lose games of football, it just knocks your confidence a bit and look, it knocks your belief, but you've got to keep doing the right things. You've got to keep doing the right things in training and working hard. I think the biggest thing for me was we didn't show our true selves against Telford and South Shields, better against Worksop, better today.

"And when you have got that belief, you've got to keep doing the same things. You've got to believe in the way you play. We've got some good footballers. We're a good passing team, we're a good attacking team. We've got clever players going forward. So you've got to play to your strengths and I'm proud of them for coming out of that and doing that work, so people know we didn't get the right result, but today we've got the right result. So we keep going.

"Next game is the most important one, which is Guisborough. We want to get through to the next round and then we concentrate on the Trophy game."

Greening also says he's looking to give a few of the younger members of the squad, like Bill Marshall a run out, he was even ready to replace Dom Tear on Saturday:

 "Yeah, to be fair, I was going to [on Saturday], I was just about to bring Billy on for Dom actually. 

"We just set him up for a warm-up and we were waiting for the last five/six minutes of the game and we're going to swap Dom for Billy. And then Dom obviously makes an unbelievable tackle that got him sent off and we couldn't make that really after that.

So it was all about hanging on after that, especially when they got the goal. But listen, we're just pleased that we've got three points. So pleased with a really good performance, again with a lot of players out injured and yeah, we're concentrating on the next game, which is the cup game against Guisborough."

Kick-off in Bridlington is 7.45pm.
