Scarborough Athletic Under-12s knocked out of cup by Goole Tigers

Before the game, both teams were impeccable as they observed a minute's silence for Remembrance weekend.

Boro made a bright start, and good passing between the boys led to plenty of possession in the opposition's half.

Goole, who play in a higher league, started to get into their groove and play some good football.

They were denied on a couple of occasions by two fingertip saves by Gordon Brittain and an excellent last-ditch tackle by Harry Barber on the left.

Boro couldn't hold out for much longer though, and the away team went ahead with a long-range shot. They added another soon after, again with a shot from distance that left Brittain no chance of saving.

The home team let their heads drop a little, and Goole added two more goals before half-time.

In the second half, Boro came out and straight from the whistle started to play the football the coaches know they can.

They passed the ball well, created attacking opportunities and, when they didn't have the ball, they gave their all to win it back.

Alexsander Michalski and Max Robinson were excellent in the middle as they won the ball numerous times and caused plenty of problems for the Tigers defence with some brilliant runs and passing.

When the away team did break forward, James Robinson was on hand to cut out countless attacks.

It was, however, the visiting team that got the next goal, again from distance, which Zachary Crossland in goal could do nothing about.

Crossland had made a couple of great saves in the lead-up to that goal.

Despite that setback, Scarborough were much the better team in this half and created plenty of goalscoring opportunities.

Against the run of play, Goole added a sixth, although they were very unfortunate as there was a clear foul in the process of the goal being scored.

Boro kept going though and had plenty of chances.

Rhys Trulio hit the crossbar with a fine strike and Ward went close on the rebound.

Theo Blower waltzed through the defence before being dragged down in the box, but nothing was given.

With just minutes to go, George Hargreaves had a good effort saved by the Tigers keeper.

Although the scoreline wouldn't suggest it, Scarborough can hold their heads high after a spirited performance, in which they showed how well they can play when they pass the ball and work hard throughout the game.

Player of the game, after a tireless and determined performance in the middle of the park, was Alexsander Michalski.
