Weather:very windy with rain showers.
Jacky Wind was man of the match in this game as he dominated proceedings. The Seadogs had the galeforce behind their backs and took the lead on the half hour when James Walshaw netted from close range at the second attempt.
The hosts had to defend the elements in the second half and looked to have succeeded until the visitors pinched it with two goals in the last few minutes. Stalybridge equalised with a shot from Scott Bakkor from the edge of the box, then a minute later good approach play was rounded off by Joshua Solomon-Davies from a tight angle to steal the win.

I’ve been to Scarborough many times, the last time would have been when the bairns were.. well...bairns. This was my first solo trip to the town so I got up to my usual beef - 8 pubs and a few record shops.
A very enjoyable day came to an abrupt full stop when I returned to Scarborough station for the journey home. My train had been cancelled, then when I finally got to York two hours later it was a train replacement bus service north, which pulled into Newcastle at 11pm. Nowadays I don't do as many rail day trips as I used to and this is another example why I can't be chewed with it. However I can claim most of my fare back, so a good day out has cost me next to nowt!
