31 Jan - No Action As Trio Postponed

An overnight frost put paid to hopes of action taking place this afternoon as all three fixtures fell to the weather. With minimal snow leading up to the fixture there had been hopes of play at Aldborough Road today in 'Bridge's crucial six-point relegation clash with Brighouse Old Boys, but a harsh overnight frost left the pitch unplayable at a morning inspection, whilst a thick covering of snow meant no chance of play for Richard Donohoe's Reserve side at Field Reserves either. 'Bridge 'A', finally, also fell victim to the overnight freeze with frozen pitch the verdict of their inspection at Pannal Sports Reserves.

30 Jan - Prolific Striker Jones Back In Blue

Boroughbridge AFCBoroughbridge AFC are thrilled to today announce that prolific striker Ben Jones has re-joined the Club from local rivals Ripon City. Jones, pictured left celebrating completing his hat-trick for 'Bridge against Rothwell in 2013, made his name at Aldborough Road, most notably during the 12/13 season when he topped 'Bridge's Golden Boot table with 26 goals, eight clear of his nearest chaser in spite of missing over two months of fixtures due to shoulder surgery. He once again found himself in the running for the top scorer's award last season, finishing the term tied for second in the table despite crossing the A1 for City in January. Involvement with City's campaign this season means that Jones will be cup tied for the forthcoming County Challenge Cup fixture against Salts but looks set to be back on blue tomorrow as 'Bridge welcome Brighouse Old Boys in a crucial West Yorkshire Premier Division relegation battle. Welcome back to Aldborough Road Ben, from all at the Club.

26 Jan - Around The Leagues: Four Into One

Boroughbridge AFCThe race for survival in the West Yorkshire Premier Division realistically became a race between four teams for one survival spot on Saturday afternoon as both Knaresborough Town and Shelley both won to pull six and seven points respectively clear of Brighouse Old Boys who occupy the last survival position. Town were five one winners over Ripon City who remain bottom of the table, whilst Shelley recorded a two one win at Hunslet Club to move level on 22 points. Closer to the top of the table Horbury Town moved into the runner-up spot and cut their gap to Field atop the table to ten points with a three nil win at Brighouse, but there was a shock result at Keswick Lane as Bardsey lost three two to Otley Town to fall to third in the table. Wetherby Athletic were also winners at the weekend. Just one fixture went ahead in the Alliance Division One besides 'Bridge's, meanwhile, with Leeds City Reserves capitalising on Hunslet Club Reserves' defeat at Aldborough Road to move within a point of the top spot after a two nil win.

The Harrogate & District League Division One saw just two fixtures besides the action at Aldborough Road with the day's biggest shock coming in the form of a three two win for bottom of the table Pannal Sports Reserves at high flying Bramham, whilst fellow strugglers Harlow Hill Reserves also added three points to their tally with a three one win at Hampsthwaite FC to remain tied with 'Bridge on 16 points. Finally in the Claro Sunday League Division One where the six goals in 'Bridge's match were added to by five goals in that between Sherwood and Harrogate Cosmos, with the former besting the latter who remain bottom of the table.

24 Jan - Results: Scaife Smashes Thrilling Four

Paul Scaife smashed home four goals earlier today as 'Bridge Reserves edged to a thrilling victory by the odd goal in nine over West Yorkshire Alliance Division One leaders Hunslet Club Reserves at Aldborough Road. Scaife twice gave Richard Donohoe's men the lead in the opening seventeen minutes and Scott Barnes made it a three one half time lead with a 22nd minute strike. The visitors showed why they are top of the table in clawing the scoreline back to parity before taking a 78th minute lead from the penalty spot, but Scaife hit back on 85 minutes before firing in a dramatic winner four minutes into stoppage time in a result which lifts 'Bridge to fourth in the table, just four points off top, and stretches their remarkable unbeaten league run to eight. 'Bridge 'A', meanwhile, made it double the joy at Aldborough Road as they too bested high caibre opponents and vaulted up the table in the process. It wasn't a perfect start for Neil Greer's side, who fell behind against second-placed Beckwithshaw Saints Reserves after just five minutes, but after Jack Campbell had volleyed home for parity and Saints 'keeper Dom Taylor had turned a Phil Wix cross into his own net for the go ahead goal Tom Hepworth hit home the third to make sure of the three points which lift 'Bridge three places to ninth in the table. Boroughbridge AFC, finally, were unable to make it three wins from three on the day as they fell to a four one defeat at Beeston St. Anthony's. The hosts took a two nil lead into half time at St. Anthony's Road and despite Ryan Preistman pulling one back for Daz Ekin's men struck twice more to keep up their chase of Field atop the table and leave 'Bridge still five points from Premier Division safety.

19 Jan - Around The Leagues: Weather Hits

Boroughbridge AFCThe weekend saw the season's first set of widespread postponements as the cold weather hit the fixture schedules. Just one match took place in the West Yorkshire Premier Division besides 'Bridge's, with Horbury Town keeping their fight for a top three finish on track with a two one win over East End Park who remain in the relegation zone. East End Park were also involved in the only match to go ahead in the Alliance Division One, with their Reserve side playing out a two all draw with fellow strugglers Aberford Albion Reserves in a result which keeps both in the bottom three in the division. The Harrogate & District League Division One fixture card fared little better as again only one match went ahead, and it also brought few surprises as third-placed Kirkstall Crusaders ensured they remain within touching distance of the top of the table with a four one win at mid-table Dalton Athletic in a result which leaves Crusaders six points off the top with three games in hand. It was a winter wipeout in the Claro Sunday League Division One, finally, with all scheduled fixtures postponed.
18 Jan - Postponements: Matches Fall To Frost

The plummeting overnight temperatures claimed two victims at Aldborough Road today as both fixtures fell to the weather.

12 Jan - Around The Leagues: Chasers Close

Boroughbridge AFCThe three sides chasing runaway West Yorkshire Premier Division leaders Field narrowed their gap to the top of the table on Saturday afternoon as the league leaders suffered a first defeat in thirteen league matches. In the clash of the top two it was Bardsey who edged out a three two victory at Keswick Lane to draw to within eleven points of the top of the table, whilst Leeds City were four nil winners at bottom of the pack Ripon City and Horbury Town closed their gap to the top to sixteen points with a four two win at Shelley. At the other end of the table, meanwhile, Brighouse Old Boys remained within range of the three teams in the drop zone with a one nil defeat at Wetherby Athletic, and East End Park continued their good run in holding Hunslet Club to a nil nil draw to cut their gap to survival to five points. Just two matches took place in the West Yorkshire Alliance Division One besides 'Bridge's, meanwhile, with both results going with form. Hunslet Club Reserves leapfrogged Oxenhope Recreation Reserves atop the table with a two nil win which moves them two points clear, whilst Leeds City Reserves capitalised on Beeston St. Anthony's Reserves dropping points at Aldborough Road to move into third by a single point courtesy of a three one win over Whitkirk Wanderers Reserves.

In the Harrogate & District Division One second-placed Beckwithshaw Saints Reserves kept up the pressure on leaders Hampsthwaite United with a three one victory, but the intriguing battle continued to develop at the bottom of the table as 'Bridge's three all draw with AFC Hillside and Harlow Hill Reserves' five two win over bottom side Pannal Sports Reserves left the three sides tied on thirteen points along with Burley Trojans in the battle to avoid second-bottom with Kirk Deighton Rangers Reserves only a point higher after a six two defeat. Into the Claro Sunday League Division One, finally, where the biggest shock of the weekend came as league leaders Harrogate CSC were beaten for just the third time this campaign. Mid-table Atlanta edged to a four three win over the over the side who could have gone seven points clear with victory, whilst at the bottom of the table Showbiz Whites demoted 'Bridge into eighth in the table with a four two win over bottom side Harrogate Cosmos.

9 Jan - 'Bridge Handed County Cup Reprieve

Boroughbridge AFCBoroughbridge AFC have been handed a place in the West Riding County Challenge Cup Quarter-Finals after Fourth Round opponents Bardsey were today ejected from the competition for fielding an ineligible player in the two sides' recent encounter. Daz Ekin's men fell just short last Saturday at Aldborough Road with a two minute Bardsey double handing the visitors a two one victory, but with news that striker Danny Maw, who scored the equaliser in the fixture, should have been serving a one match ban for receiving five cautions Bardsey have been ejected from the competition by the West Riding County FA with 'Bridge instead progressing. Bardsey have seven days to appeal the decision, otherwise 'Bridge will welcome Salts to Aldborough Road in the Quarter-Finals on Saturday 7th February.

5 Jan - Around The Leagues: East End Go North

Boroughbridge AFCOn a weekend of action split between those teams still involved in County Cups action and those in league action as normal, it was East End Park who arguable made the biggest move as they climbed from the base of the West Yorkshire Premier Division. A one nil win over Brighouse Old Boys, who hover just above the relegation zone, was enough to move East End up two places in the table and drop both 'Bridge and Ripon City to bottom and second-bottom of the table respectively. The denial of points to Brighouse means Daz Ekin's men still trail survival by six points with 13 games left of the season. Elsewhere in the Premier Division Wetherby Athletic pulled themselves further away from the relegation battle with a four two win over Shelley who fall closer to the drop zone, whilst Horbury Town moved up to fourth after a two nil win at Hunslet Club. In the Alliance Division One a pair of two all draws meant little change in the table save for Brighouse Old Boys Reserves who climbed into mid-table with a three one win at Headingley AFC Reserves.

Without County action for many the Harrogate & District Division One saw a mostly complete schedule of fixtures with the top two of Hampsthwaite United and Beckwithshaw Saints Reserves both matching each other once again in adding three points to their tallies, although the former did so more emphatically with an eight nil result against struggling Harlow Hill Reserves whilst the latter edged to a three nil win over fourth-placed Bramham. Thirsk Falcons Reserves were the weekend's other big winners with a five one victory at Pateley Bridge. No action, finally, took place in the Claro Sunday League Division One.
3 Jan - Results: 'Bridge Left To Rue Two

Boroughbridge AFC came close to booking their place in the Quarter-Finals of the West Riding County Challenge Cup earlier today at Aldborough Road, pushing Bardsey all the way before a defensive disaster saw the visitors hit home twice in as many minutes to seal victory. Fresh from a three nil win at Aldborough Road just two weeks ago Bardsey picked up where they had left off, forcing Paul Diamond into an excellent fingertip save as early as the fourth minute. It was Daz Ekin's side who found the breakthrough first, however, with Mike Mullenger bundling home Barry Pryce's cross in the 16th minute to hand the hosts a one nil interval lead, with Pryce coming close to doubling the advantage just before the break. Bardsey levelled matters up in the 66th minute after Danny Maw caught the 'Bridge defence napping to beat the offside trap, round Diamond and slot home, and the visitors took a lead they would not relinquish just two minutes later as defensive indifference allowed Nicky Seed the time and space to hit home from close range. 'Bridge 'A', meanwhile, lost two nil at Dalton Athletic to remain twelfth in the Harrogate & District League Division One.

Boroughbridge AFCBoth Otley Town and Knaresborough Town moved further away from the West Yorkshire Premier Division relegation zone on Saturday afternoon as Field stretched their lead atop the table. Otley moved twelve points clear of the drop zone with a two nil win at relegation threatened Ripon City, whilst Knaresborough moved nine points clear of the drop zone with a four two win over Brighouse Old Boys, who sit six points above the bottom three. The results mean just Brighouse remain within six points of 'Bridge, whilst just three sides are within nine points. In the Alliance Division One, meanwhile, bottom of the pack Aberford Albion Reserves suffered a heavy five nil defeat at mid-table Wetherby Athletic Reserves, but fellow strugglers Robin Hood Athletic Reserves picked up their fourth win of the season with a narrow four three win over Whitkirk Wanderers Reserves. No action, finally, took place in either the Harrogate & District Division One or the Claro SUnday League Division One.

27 Dec - Result: Brace Hat-Trick Boosts 'Bridge

A trio of braces boosted 'Bridge Reserves to a hard fought six goal to two victory over Ilkley Town Reserves earlier today at Aldborough Road, with Paul Scaife, Scott Barnes and Ben Mudd all on the scoresheet. Scaife got Richard Donohoe's men off to the perfect start as he curled a free kick into the bottom left-hand corner after just nine minutes and Barnes doubled the advantage eight minutes later as he hit home from close range. Town would pull back to within one on the half hour mark but the 'Bridge lead was out to three within five minutes as first Scaife fired home once more from a free kick and then Ben Mudd hit home from range to take 'Bridge into the interval with a four one lead. Town once more reduced the deficit on the hour mark, but once again the 'Bridge response was swift with Barnes firing in his second of the afternoon from close range on 65 minutes before Mudd completed his brace with arguably the goal of the afternoon as he unleashed a thunderbolt from outside the box destined for the bottom left-hand corner of the goal. 'Bridge remain sixth in the Alliance Division One with the victory and move to within two points of third.

Big winners in the day's third game were Leeds City Reserves who hit double figures against struggling East End Park Reserves, and there was no shortage of goals in the Harrogate & District Division One either with 35 hitting the nets across six games. Two games saw eight goals with Kirkstall Crusaders moving up into second at the expense of Beckwithshaw Saints Reserves thanks to a six two away win for the former and five three away defeat for the latter. Also amongst the goals were struggling Thirsk Falcons Reserves who were six nil winners over Harlow Hill Reserves who drop to eleventh in the table to make way for Dalton Athletic and AFC Hillside, both of whom notched three points. Finally in the Claro Sunday League Division One where the biggest drama of the weekend was found, not for the goals that hit the net but for an incident between a player and a referee at Ings Lane. In the day's other two games Atlanta ran out to a three two win at the expense of bottom of the pack Harrogate Cosmos, whilst league leaders Harrogate CSC were held to a three all draw at third-placed Kirk Deighton Rangers.

Also amongst the goals were fifth-placed Leeds City who were six one winners against bottom of the pack East End Park. Horbury Town remain in sixth with a three nil win over Otley Town whilst Hunslet Club remain seventh but dropped points on the teams ahead of then after being held to a two all draw at Robin Hood Athletic. Goals also hit the net at a high rate in the Alliance Division One, with five of the seven games seeing five or more goals, and eight goals finding their way home in the game between Field Reserves and Robin Hood Athletic Reserves, the former the six two victors. 'Bridge Reserves' match was one of three to see seven goals with fifth-placed Wetherby Athletic Reserves six one winners at struggling East End Park Reserves and Leeds City Reserves winners by the odd goal in seven at Brighouse Old Boys Reserves to move up to sixth.

The Harrogate & District League Division One kept the high scoring pattern alive, meanwhile, with another eight-goal thriller taking place as Kirk Deighton Rangers Reserves beat bottom of the table Thirsk Falcons Reserves six two. Atop the table, meanwhile, Beckwithshaw Saints Reserves moved up into pole position by a single point as they beat leaders Hampsthwaite United five two, whilst in mid-table there were also wins for Harlow Hill Reserves, Pateley Bridge and Dalton Athletic to leave the sides eighth, ninth and tenth respectively.

3 Nov - County Cup Round-Up

Boroughbridge AFCWest Riding County Cup action dominated the majority of 'Bridge's leagues at the weekend limiting play to just a handful of matches, and thus this week's Around The Leagues has been replaced with a round-up of the biggest headlines from across the County Cups. Besides 'Bridge's trip to Mallorie Park Drive, arguably the biggest match of the weekend saw defending County Challenge Cup winners Field host defending West Yorkshire Premier Division champions Bardsey, with the visitors progressing into the Third Round with a narrow three goal to two victory. The biggest scoreline of the County Challenge Cup Second Round also came from a West Yorkshire League side as Beeston St. Anthony's fired fifteen past FC Headingley for no reply, whilst Knaresborough Town were the next highest scoring side in their eight one victory at Shelf United. Of those also likely to feature at a later stage in the competition Leeds City were pushed the furthest in having to resort to playing 120 minutes in order to despatch Huddersfield Amateur, with three goals in added time delivering a six three victory. City's tie was one of four to go to extra time with no penalty shootouts.
In the County Challenge Trophy, last year's defeated finalists Honley progressed safely with a two nil win over AFC Horsforth, whilst the only side to reach double figures were Gildersome Spurs Old Boys in a ten one defeat of Leodis. Of the teams more familiar to 'Bridge, meanwhile, Beeston St. Anthony's Reserves exited the competition with a four two defeat to Golcar United Reserves, but progression was achieved by the likes of Oxenhope Recreation Reserves, Hunslet Club Reserves, East End Park Reserves and Whitkirk Wanderers Reserves. The County Sunday Cup also saw it's fair share of action, finally, with three sides hitting double figures on their way to a place in the Third Round. Beeston St. Anthony's Sunday almost matched their Saturday counterparts in a thirteen nil win at FC West Leeds, Belle Isle WMC hit eleven for reply of just one against Original Oak, and Thornton United fired in ten for reply of three against Ventus United. Of those expected to challenge come the end of the season, defending winners HT Sports progressed with a five three result at Prospect, last season's defeated finalists Ferrybridge Progressive enjoyed a narrow two one win at Barwick Sunday, West Bowling were nine two winners at Saltaire Rangers, and closer to home Kirk Deighton Rangers exited the competition after a four nil defeat at much fancied Chapeltown Fforde Grene.

1 Nov - Results: 'Bridge Best City In Thriller

Boroughbridge AFC progressed to the Third Round of the West Riding County Challenge Cup earlier this afternoon at Mallorie Park Drive with a four goal to two victory after an oscillating encounter. Both managers predicted fireworks in the build-up and 'Bridge gaffer Daz Ekin was the first to light the touch paper with his side exploding out of the blocks, racing into a two goal lead in the opening six minutes with Stephen Coles and Mike Mullenger both on target. As the game evened out, however, ex-'Bridge talisman Ben Jones drew his side back within one before restoring parity for ex-'Bridge 'keeper Alastair Hogg's side by the half time marker. The hosts enjoyed the better of the early second half chances but couldn't find a breakthrough against an in-form Paul Diamond and Ross Mardon fired in the winner nine minutes from time with an unfortunate City own goal completing the scoring. 'Bridge will welcome Campion FC of the West Riding County Amateur League in the Third Round of the competition in early December after they ran out winners against Storthes Hall, also by a four to two scoreline.

After a five nil defeat last weekend, meanwhile, 'Bridge Reserves got back to winning ways in emphatic fashion with a reversal of the scoreline against Brighouse Old Boys Reserves in the feature game at Aldborough Road. Harry Maltby opened the scoring after 37 minutes to give Richard Donohoe's side a one nil half time lead before two goals in as many minutes from Scott Barnes and Aaron Weinhardt mid-way through the second half put the hosts firmly in the driving seat, with a late Paul Scaife brace adding a gloss to the scoreline. 'Bridge 'A', finally, exited the Harrogate & District League Challenge Cup with a ten one defeat to Knaresborough Celtic. Neil Greer's side restricted the high-flying Premier Division outfit to a solitary goal half time lead but couldn't prevent the visitors hitting home eight in the second half to make sure of the result.

Amongst the top scoring sides were those at the top of the table, with leaders Field maintaining their six point lead with a four nil result at Wetherby Athletic, whilst third-placed Oxenhope Recreation and fourth-placed Beeston St. Anthony's both hit home six, the former in a six three win over Hunslet Club and the latter in a six nil demolition of bottom of the pack East End Park. Not wanting to be left out, second-placed Bardsey saw seven goals hit the net in their game, but their victory was by a much closer single goal margin against Knaresborough Town at Keswick Lane. There were also wins for Otley Town and Leeds City on Saturday afternoon. Into the Alliance Division One where goals were also free flowing with third-placed Beeston St. Anthony's Reserves joining fourth-placed Fields Reserves and mid-table side Whitkirk Wanderers Reserves in scoring five.

Boroughbridge AFCBoroughbridge AFC will be supporting the poppy appeal over the coming weeks by donning poppies on their shirts during matches in remembrance of those who have fallen in conflict. Both of the Club's West Yorkshire League sides wore the poppies during last weekend's District Cup matches and following the launch of the 2014 poppy appeal on Thursday all four of the Club's sides in action this weekend will wear the poppy every weekend until Remembrance Sunday. This year sees the centenary of the start of the First World War with special events already having taken place to commemorate the anniversary, including the filling of the dry moat at the Tower of London with 800,00 ceramic poppies as well as the launch of a new protection programme by national charity Fields in Trust, in collaboration with The Royal British Legion, called Centenary Fields which will protect recreational spaces including memorial gardens and parks from development into perpetuity. To mark this milestone, 'Bridge's premier side will be wearing a special anniversary poppy featuring a 1914-2014 design, which can be seen modelled below by members of Daz Ekin's squad ahead of last weekend's fixture. 'Bridge Manager Ekin hailed the move by the Club to support the appeal as "a massive positive", adding that "the Army lads have always been a major player in Boroughbridge Football Club and I think it shows our appreciation of them. It's a two way thing as well, I know the lads feel very proud to wear the poppies and we'll carry on wearing them for the next few weeks".

Scoring levels were lower in the Harrogate & District Division One with Beckwithshaw Saints Reserves moving up to third thanks to a two one win over AFC Hillside and Hampsthwaite FC up to fifth thanks to a three two win over strugglers Pannal Sports Reserves whilst at the bottom of the table Thirsk Falcons Reserves and Dalton Athletic played out a one all draw.

In the Whitworth Cup, meanwhile, 'Bridge's closest rivals Knaresborough Town and Ripon City both progressed, the former with an eight two result at Hampsthwaite United and the latter with a five one win at Pateley Bridge.

18 Oct - Results: 'Bridge Rue Missed Chances

Boroughbridge AFC were left to rue a series of unconverted opportunities earlier today at Aldborough Road as they were outflanked by visiting Beckwithshaw Saints over the course of 120 minutes before being resoundingly beaten from the penalty spot. Daz Ekin's men endured a poor first half against their lower league opponents and fell behind after just thirteen minutes after a long range lob took a freak bounce over the head of the advancing Paul Diamond and into the back of the net. It took until stoppage time for parity to be restored as Ross Mardon broke and fired under the Saints 'keeper but despite an improved showing from the hosts in the second half neither side could find a way to break the deadlock, with 'Bridge seeing an effort saved on the line as well as a fingertip save from the visiting 'keeper whilst Saints came closest as they were denied by a one-on-one save by Diamond. As 'Bridge continued pushing forward Mardon spurned a golden opportunity to give his side the lead seven minutes into extra time as he fired over from close range, whilst the hosts were again denied inches from the line in the second period of the additional half hour. After an oscillating encounter over 120 minutes, the shootout was anything but with Beckwithshaw taking just three spot kicks to wrap up the match and progress into the next round, converting their three whilst seeing 'Bridge miss one and have two saved by an in form Saints 'keeper.

'Bridge Reserves, meanwhile, enjoyed a more positive afternoon on the road at Ripon Red Arrows in advancing into the next round of the Hulme Cup after a four three victory. The top of the table Arrows side provided tough opposition for Richard Donohoe's men, with goals from Paul Scaife, Harry Maltby, Stephen Coles and Ashley Richardson sealing the victory by the odd goal in seven in a close encounter. The bid by 'Bridge 'A' to repeat their run to the Final of the same competition last season came to an end, finally, at the hands of the same side that ended their Intermediate Cup hopes just seven days ago. Kirk Deighton Rangers Reserves took a three nil half time lead at Aldborough Road, eventually running out to a five one victory with 'Bridge's consolation courtesy of Liam Corbett.
