Boro are set to take on defending champions Scarborough Athletic in the North Riding Senior Cup on Teesside.

The second round tie is scheduled for Tuesday 10 October (7.45pm) and will take place at the T6 Academy in Saltersgill.

Scarborough are bidding for a third cup success in a row, but Boro have won the competition a record 55 times and the tie is a repeat of our last final triumph, above, when a Luke Armstrong goal proved decisive in 2018.

The timing of the game comes during the international break, and will provide additional game-time for players during that period.

The National League North Seadogs are managed by former Boro man Jono Greening and their squad includes a number of our former Academy youngsters.

Pricing is £6 adults and £2 U16s/Students/OAPs.
