Scarborough Athletic recognised in The Best of Non-League Awards 2026

The 100% fan-owned club picked up the 'Best Fan Engagement' acknowledgement, one of just three awards celebrating clubs across Steps 1–6 that make Non-league football what it is, on and off the pitch. With nominations received by fans, the judging panel considered the following factors before recognising Scarborough Athletic FC with the award: Community Connection: How the club serves and represents its local area, Club Culture: Volunteers, supporters, inclusivity, and values, Matchday Experience: Welcoming, affordable, enjoyable football for all, Positive Impact: The difference the club makes beyond results and Spirit of Non-League: Authenticity, resilience, and pride.

A Boro spokesperson said: “The club would like to thank everyone who continues to make our club so special - Up the Boro!”

Following the success of last year's cricket match at North Marine Road, on Thursday June 25, a team of Boro players swap football boots for cricket bats, as the Seadog side captained by Dom Tear will take on Scarborough Cricket Club in a T20 encounter.

There is a suggested £5 entry donation, with the event raising funds for both Boro and Scarborough CC.
