Middlesbrough Rovers 0-25 Boro Rangers
Macmillan Bowl Round 2
Saturday 16th November 2019
Middlesbrough Rovers were formed at the start
of last season, becoming one of several new clubs to join the North Riding
Football League Division One for 2018-19.
The
Macmillan Bowl is an annual cup competition played between clubs on Teesside.
The trophy was first contested for in 1926-27 with West Hartlepool Peser
becoming the first holders. Historically the most successful clubs are Acklam
Steelworks and Redcar Albion, who have both won the trophy on six
occasions.

Current North Riding FL grounds visited 15/24
I visited the Herlingshaw Centre last
season when I saw Boro Rangers at home on the main pitch, which you can read
about here.
Today’s match was due to be played on Pitch 2 which is
Rovers home pitch, about 50 yards from Boro Rangers home ground, but after
another week of heavy rain the game was switched to the Astro surface.
The all weather pitch is found on the other side of
the Herlingshaw Centre with access via Trunk Road.

Rovers
have lost all 7 games in Division One while Boro Rangers are unbeaten in the
top division, so a major cup shock was never on the cards. In fact we were
expecting a personal best record score for an attended match, based on recent
results for both teams.
I'll not
give in-depth details of the goals (it would take hours to write up) I'll just
say it could have been a hell of a lot more if it wasn't for some terrific
saves from Rovers 'keeper Ben Wilson and the woodwork getting struck half a
dozen times. It was 10-0 at half time with some clinical finishing by Stu Rose,
who scored a hat-trick and a total of eight goals overall. Jack Guy also
grabbed a first half treble completing the feat in a four minute
spell. In the
second half Daniel Lockwood took his tally to five and Jake Large scored three,
becoming the fourth player to fight over the match ball.

Picked
up Lee & Katie on route via the A19 to Teesside where we saw an unbeatable
record score line. My previous personal best was more than doubled.

Will the game have to be replayed? Your photo shows no corner flag!
Maybe Rovers were hoping the ref would stop the game.
