"We won 6-1 at the Welfare Ground which was a great result and we were given a friendly welcome as always by the club.
"Many Boro fans were expecting Teversal to be up there as that is where we gained promotion to the NCEL Premier Division but it is Emley who came out on top."
Teversal were runners-up in the competition with 25% of the vote and the club's Fourth Round FA Vase trip to Bideford came in third with 14%.

Seadogs in Talks Over Move
29th April, 2009
Scarborough Evening News reports that Scarborough Athletic are in talks with a secondary school with a view to playing their home matches there.
The team is currently playing its home fixtures eighteen miles away at Queensgate in Bridlington, but is now negotiating with George Pindar Community Sports College in the hope of finding a temporary new ground at a proposed football stadium within the school grounds.
Athletic was hoping to move to a new community multi-function sports complex to be built by Scarborough Council but fears it could be put on hold due to the recession.
The team has now been promoted to the KoolSport NCEL Premier Division after spending just two seasons in Division One.
Club chairman Simon Cope said: "We recognise that any new development is still many years away, and that leaves the club in something of a quandary. We cannot stay at Queensgate indefinitely, and recognise that many ex-Scarborough FC fans have yet to make the trip through to Bridlington for various reasons.
"The George Pindar scheme has the potential to be a temporary home for Boro in the short term, and we are exploring every avenue, both positive and negative, connected with the club moving there."

Seadogs Return Home Setback
14th January, 2009
Scarborough Athletic's return home looks, for the time being, to be on hold.
The KoolSport NCEL Division One side, who currently play at Bridlington Town's Queensgate Stadium, had been hoping to return to the town and play at the former Scarborough FC's ground in the near future.
But, vandalism and arson at the Athletic Ground since it became unused in Summer 2007 have meant that the costs to repair it have skyrocketed.
A report that will be considered by Scarborough Borough Council's cabinet on January 20th recommends that, due to the cost of safe repairs estimated at up to ?600,000, renovating the stadium should not be considered a viable option for the immediate future of football in Scarborough.
More optimistically, the council are looking at starting a consultation process in the near future to establish the long-term needs of the town in terms of leisure facilities.
Scarborough Athletic chairman Simon Cope said: "While we are obviously disappointed that there won't be a return to Scarborough in the immediate future, it is more important that the focus is on the provision of a sustainable facility that can be used by as many community groups as possible.
"Scarborough Borough Council is looking at the long term, and that is completely in line with our way of thinking too.
"We look forward to participating fully in the consultation process to ensure that any proposed new facility meets the needs of Scarborough Athletic FC."

Seadogs Double Swoop
5th January, 2009
KoolSport NCEL Division One pacesetters Scarborough Athletic have made two new signings as they push for promotion.
Former Whitby Town defender Danny Farthing and Tom Reid, who joins from NCEL Premier Division side Selby Town, moved to the Seadogs over the weekend.
Farthing signed for Whitby from Goole AFC in the summer of 2004 and was voted the players', supporters' and website player of the year in his first season.
However, he missed most of last season with a serious cruciate ligament injury.
Reid, who is a right-sided defender or winger, becomes the third from his family to join the club this season.
His father Jimmy is reserve team manager and brother Arran is the first-team's current first-choice goalkeeper.
Both players are available for selection in Boro's next game, at home to Brighouse Town on Tuesday evening.

McCain 'Setback' For Seadogs
8th December, 2008
Scarborough's hopes of a return to the McCain Stadium have suffered a setback, reports The Non-League Paper.
The town's derelict former ground was given a repairs' estimate on Thursday by council engineers and Athletic will discover their findings in the New Year.
But, chairman Simon Cope has warned supporters of the KoolSport NCEL club that an emotional homecoming does not look promising.
He said: "At this moment, it is looking very doubtful. I'm told the stadium is not a pretty picture. It is in a right old state and, at this stage, we aren't confident at all.
"The damage done by vandals and the fires is a lot worse than we ever thought. The blaze under the main stand has wrecked the place - and the electrics will cost a bomb.
"Everything that can be smashed has been. We thought the damage was more superficial. There are also big problems with the terracing. The crash barriers need welding on again which is a big and costly problem."

Boro Honour For Football Legends
14th October, 2008
Four legends of Scarborough football are to become honorary members of the town's KoolSport NCEL Division One side.
Scarborough Athletic are keen to honour the quartet who, when connected with Scarborough FC, brought the former club huge success.
Jeff Barmby, Colin Appleton, Harry Dunn and Neil Warnock have all said they are delighted to accept the honour.
Barmby was a striker who signed for Boro from Goole Town in 1969. He went on to become a fans favourite, scoring 156 goals in just over 300 matches in an eight-year spell.
Appleton, a left-half, made his Boro debut back in the 1951-52 season as a 16-year-old.
He left Boro to enjoy a successful career at Leicester City - including two FA Cup finals - but came back to Scarborough in the early 70s to take a player-coach role.
Defender Harry Dunn holds the appearance record for Scarborough FC, having played in more than 900 matches between 1963 and 1983.
And, Neil Warnock will always be known as the manager who took Boro into the Football League in 1987.
Although the honour gives the member no share or voting privileges, each honorary life member will receive free entry to matches with hospitality, a certificate and, when the club returns to play in Scarborough, and recognition on an engraved plaque in the clubhouse.
Meanwhile, there will be a minute's silence before the Seadogs game against Tadcaster Albion this evening for Steve Coulson.
The 52-year-old, once called the "Alex Ferguson of Scarborough football", died earlier this month.

The Scarborough Athletic Fanzine, 'Abandon Chip!', recently awarded AFC Emley as the 'Best Away Day of the Season' for the 2007/08 campaign.
Every away game Scarborough Athletic participated in was given an overall mark out of 100 for several different categories, such as the ground, weather, food etc.

Fanzine editor Matt Lawson, who has produced the fanzine since April 2006, presented the award to the Emley captain before the league match between the two sides at Queensgate on 30th August.
Lawson, 21, said the following of the award: "It was a great pleasure to present the trophy to AFC Emley
"At Scarborough Athletic, we are extremely grateful for the warm welcome that our supporters receive at the majority of grounds we visit.
"It must be intimidating for clubs who have a more modest fanbase to have a couple of hundred Seadogs turn up, but we've been welcomed with open arms.
"We hope that away supporters feel as welcome at Queensgate when they visit."
Issue 11 of the fanzine is due out on October 14th at Boro's home game with Tadcaster Albion. Anyone wishing to purchase a copy can contact Matt at abandonchip@googlemail.com.

Venue Change For Seadogs Vase Tie
18th September, 2008
Scarborough Athletic's first ever FA Vase fixture this Saturday will now be played at a neutral venue.
They were due to play Birtley Town at the Birtly Sports Complex but the ground has been submerged under contaminated water.
Due to heavy rain in the area, a stream next to the ground which contains waste water from nearby industrial units has leaked onto the pitch and Environmental Health have declared the area unfit for sporting purposes.
The game will now be played 4 miles from Birtley at Washington FC's Albany Park ground.

Seadogs To Help Local Charities
23rd July, 2008
Scarborough Athletic FC is giving supporters the chance to help out local charities in the form of an innovative new advertising idea.
The club is giving over space in the award-winning match programme to local charities, with the space being paid for with donations from supporters.
Supporters will also be able to choose the local Scarborough charities they wish to be offered the advertising.
Club Communications and Marketing Director James Hunter said: "We as a club are always looking to be active in our community, and what better way than to help numerous local charities by donating advertising in our match programme to them for free?"
"The idea came from a generous supporter offering ?50 for an advert, without him having a business to actually advertise. We took it on from there and are now looking to raise enough to fill one or maybe even two pages with charity ads."
Fans can become involved by pledging as little or as much as they wish towards the advertising space. Fans who contribute will also be asked to name the charities they wish the club to approach, and will have their name appear in the programme throughout the season.
The Boro programme was named as Northern Counties East League Division One Programme of the Year last season, and was also given the same honour by the Soccer Club Swap Shop. The programme will sell around 7,500 copies during 2008-09.
For more information, or to make a pledge, contact James Hunter via telephone on 07787 563748, or via email on james@scarboroughathletic.com.

Seadogs Sign Gray And Hoyle
20th July, 2008
Scarborough Athletic have added a former England captain and an NCEL goal-getter as they get ready for the new season.
16-year-old defender Rob Hoyle, who skippered his country at Under-15 level, can play anywhere across the back-line.
Meanwhile, former Tadcaster Albion striker Danny Gray has also put pen-to-paper for the Seadogs.
He will be available for the two mouth-watering friendlies against Bridlington Town and Pickering Town this week.
Gray started last season on fire, scoring 18 goals before an ankle injury curtailed his season in January. He scored in the 2-2 draw at Queensgate against Boro in October.
He will hopefully be joined in the squad next week by fellow striker Ryan Blott, who injured a foot last weekend whilst running in Somerset with employers, Pindar School.
Blott is awaiting news of the seriousness of the injury following a hospital appointment.
