Scarborough M1 Secure Home Victory Over Leeds Adel M3s
Introduction
Scarborough Men’s 1st team continued their strong form with a convincing home win over Leeds Adel M3s. Coming off a cup victory against the same opponents two weeks ago, Scarborough knew Leeds would be determined to bounce back from their recent 6-0 defeat.
First Half Overview
Scarborough started confidently, controlling possession and creating early chances. However, against the run of play, a swift counterattack saw Leeds take the lead. Scarborough responded well and quickly turned the game in their favour.
A penalty stroke from Greis leveled the score before two penalty corner goals from Topar put Scarborough ahead. Allison added another, followed by a superb solo effort from Priel, giving Scarborough a commanding 5-1 lead at halftime.
Second Half Overview
Despite their dominance in the first half, Scarborough struggled to find the same rhythm after the break. They continued to create chances but could only add one more goal, with Allison finding the net again. Leeds managed to pull one back, but Scarborough remained in control to see out the game.
This match marked the return of key players Priel, Greis, Vaughan, and Topar, all of whom slotted back into the squad seamlessly, helping maintain the team’s winning streak.
Conclusion
Scarborough produced an excellent first-half display, showing their attacking prowess and set-piece efficiency. While the second half lacked the same fluency, the team secured another important victory as they look to finish the season strongly.
Next weekend, Scarborough travel to Sheffield on Saturday before facing Manx HC away in the cup on Sunday.
Player of the Match: Greis – for a brilliantly taken penalty stroke and outstanding all-round play throughout the match.
