The Athletic goals were scored by Jaydan Hindle, an own goal, Zam Deans and Nathan Vidler.

The result however was secondary to a serious leg injury suffered by Athletic striker Hindle which caused the abandonment of the game midway through the second half.

Thoughts and best wishes for a speedy recovery go to Jaydan from all at Scarborough Athletic.
