31 Jul - BAFC 4-2 Doncaster R Inters

The first friendly for Daz ahead of the new season saw a return for the young pros of Doncaster Rovers Under 19's. On a beautifully prepared pitch (thanks to Dale And John H) Bridge were first out of the traps when Ben Jones hit a 20 yard opener, soon followed by a second from new signing Frazer Lancaster, rounding off a great move. Donny pushed as half time beckoned, and Ist team squad member Rob Clarke was unlucky to see his shot denied by the post. Soon after the restart the goal of the game gave us a 3-0 lead, as Dan Clayton beat 4 players before laying the ball to Eggers who deftly chipped the keeper. As subs came into play, Donny came into the match more and were able to claw the game back in sight with goals in the 73rd and 89th minute. Substitute Andy O'hare wrapped things up in stoppage time, but thanks must go to the young men from Doncaster in playing their part in such an entertaining game.

Team and Ratings : Hogg (7); Webster (9); Layton (7); Mudd (7); D Clayton (8); Hastings (8); Kent (7); B Clayton (8); Eagling (8); Lancaster (8); Jones (8); Subs Mullinger (8); Binks (6); O'Hare (7); Philpott (6); Hutchinson (6); O'Neill (6); D Burniston (7); T Smith (6)
Thanks to Daz for the report and ratings.

27 Jul - Could you Coach??

The Harrogate FA with a bit of a shove from our secretary are endeavouring to push the County FA for Coaching Courses in the Harrogate area. This could be for anything from Level One and above to a goalkeeping course etc. There is plenty of scope within the club for qualified coaching staff, and the Club would consider favourably requests for contributions towards the course costs.

SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY!!!!!

The only condition is that you take up the course once your name is accepted. It is your chance to get that qualification without having to travel to the South of the County. if you are interested, then let Dale or any other Committee member know before August 18th. Or you can mail us at web@boroughbridgeafc.com and we'll pass on the info!
