Ok just after I launched my last blog the next set of fixtures were realised. In this blog I'll cover 2 of the 3 matches that will be held at Scarborough Rugby Football Clib, Silver Royd.
Tuesday 21st July 7:30pm, Accrington Stanley FC at Silver Royd (Scarborough RUFC)
This club from Lancashire was made famous from an old Milk advert on TV. Every time I hear someone say Accrington Stanley, I just want to shout "WHO ARE THEY?".
Stanley are a club with a long history and tradition. They were also nearly wiped out of existence, but their loyal fans have stuck by them thick or thin.
This will be the highest league club Athletic will play this pre season & they will be a very tough team to break down in defence & midfield. Even if manager John Coleman doesn't bring his top players, they will still be a formidable team to play against. In the Stanley team there is a midfielder who goes by the name of Josh Windass, he is the son of former Seadog Dean Windass. So I do hope for a big crowd to the match and cheering our boys on.
Saturday 25th July 14:00, Tadcaster Albion Silver Royd (Scarborough RUFC)
Tadcaster Albion are under new manager Billy Miller and he has been quick to shore up the defence by bringing in Ex Leeds United defender Matt Heath, after Denny Ingram moved to Pickering Town FC. He's also brought in a midfielder aswell as he has secured the services of former Scarborough Athletic's Jimmy Beadle. But the threat doesn't stop there as there Ate a few familiar faces in The Brewers team from Paddy Miller, Andy Milne, Josh Greening and Tom Claisse's it's going to be a match that day.
Also the Taddy fans follow their team in big numbers so expect the fans to be a great equaliser to the match atmosphere as I'm sure the song "Tad all over" will be heard on the wind at the rugby club.
