Scarborough In Seventh Heaven After Senior Cup Goalfest

Boro put 7 past Northern League Division Two side Thornaby in the North Riding Senior Cup last night.

It took 30 minutes for the deadlock to be broken, mostly due to a series of fantastic saves from Thornaby goalkeeper Mark Foden.

On the half-hour mark, Luca Colville rifled in from close range, before making it two just 2 minutes later.

Alex Wiles bagged Boro's third within a minute as the floodgates opened.

Weledji then headed in from close range from a corner to make it four 5 minutes before the half time break.

Loan signing Alfie King bagged two second half goals in the space of a few minutes to put Boro 6-0 up before energetic sub Harry Green scored the 7th on 76 minutes.

Boro's Assistant Manager Michael Ingham told This Is The Coast it was a professional performance:

Thornaby did create chances, especially in the 2nd half, with Boro keeper Matt Bancroft making two spectacualr saves to keep a clean sheet.

Ingham, a former goalkeeper himself, was delighted with the saves:

Attendance: 341

Boro next travel to Stockton Town FC in the FA Trophy this Saturday.
