Scarborough Athletic Through To North Riding Senior Cup Final

Wednesday, 19 March 2025 10:24

The Seadogs beat Redcar Athletic away last night in a closely contested match under the lights.

Boro took an early lead when an Alex Purver corner caused a mix up in the Redcar defence, with a defender putting the ball into his own net.

Boro boss Jono Greening said he thought Redcar played the better football in the first half.

Both teams did create chances, without causing either keeper too many issues.

The game was flowing end-to-end, with both teams giving it their all to progress to the final.

In the 2nd half, Boro did improve in possession and created some opportunities in front of goal.

Richie Bennett shot over the bar from the edge of the box, whilst Alex Wiles went clean through but had his shot saved at close range.

The Seadogs did finally make things comfortable, scoring their second goal in the 85th minute, when young Bill Marshall tapped in from a shot which had rebounded off the post.

Here's how the goals went in, with commentary on This Is The Coast Extra from Paddy and former Premier League Referee Jeff Winter:

Paddy spoke to Jono Greening after the game, for Scarborough Athletic FC TV:

Scarborough will face either Middlesbrough U23's or Redcar Town in the final in May. They face off in the other semi final this evening in Bishop Auckland.

Scarborough are next in action in National League North on Saturday, away at Southport.
