West Pier tackle Itis Itis Rovers in Scarborough Saturday League Cup final

The two teams met in the league in February 11 at Pindar Leisure Centre, with visitors Pier netting a 3-1 triumph thanks to goals from Ben Clarke (2) and sub Terry Day, Ellis Howley replying for Rovers.

Itis Itis player-manager Barker is hoping that his Itis Itis team can net their first Scarborough League cup competition success during his time in charge of Rovers, who are planning to fold at the end of this season.

Barker said: “In my seven years of being in charge we have never won a domestic trophy so the lads are massively up for this.

"With it being our last season we want to go out on a high. It's been a difficult season for myself, I've got a lot going on and just want to thank the lads on pulling together and getting us to a cup final and literally fighting to the bitter end in most games.

"I wish Pier boss Jonny (McGough) all the best and I'm sure it will be a cracking game of football.

“I think our key players will be Cal Gravestock, myself, Sam Pickard and keeper Jordan Lee.”

Pier player-manager McGough said: “We as a club are delighted that we are in another cup final.

"Here at West Pier its in our DNA to be winning and competing for trophies as a team.

"I'm so proud of the boys this season, we merged two teams into one so it was like starting a new team but the boys have been fantastic all season.

"Our key men are Declan Richardson, who since joining the club has scored bags of goals. He is very pacy and has tricks to match, plus he is good on both feet, so he's a nightmare for defenders.

"But also we have a perfect mixture of youth and senior players like Martin Cooper who's been converted to a centre-back but he's been fantastic.

"Then we have some young player like Benny Davis, Max McNiven and Jayden Rodgerson, these boys are the future of the club.”

McGough has singled out two of Rovers’ more experienced players as their chief threats.

The Pier chief added: “Their danger men, for me, are Luke Jones and Sam Pickard, both experienced and quality players."

"Also the whole West Pier family would like to give Itis Itis manager Mike Barker all our best wishes for everything he's overcome and everything he's going through.”
