Brid were at home last Tuesday, but due to family needs I wasn’t able to get to see the game. To be fair, I wasn’t even aware of Tuesdays events, not through lack of interest, but having to make constant treks to Scarborough Hospital, but thankfully all is better in that area.
Today, with domestic issues improving, I was able to make the trip to Queensgate to watch Scarborough take on Rainworth Miners Welfare. A really bad day at the office for Boro as they went down 3-1 to the visitors, leaking two very soft goals in the opening 25 minutes. Rainworth were a real handful in the first half, breaking quickly and putting Boro under plenty of pressure. Boro did have a screamer of a free kick in the first half that came off the woodwork. 2nd half Boro were totally devoid of anything; confidence, enthusiasm, organisation, skill factor etc. Boro did get a lucky consolation late on, but that was just a reward for their efforts towards the end of the game. A tidy crowd of 460sh were probably as peed off as the players were at the result.
Brid took part in Hull against Westella and Willerb in the quarter finals of the East Riding FA cup, after extra time the game went to penalties (Brid ironically missed one in the first half) – and went onto lose 3-1 on pens.
