Scarborough Pirates

Scarborough Pirates RLFC were a rugby league club based in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England. They played their home games at Scarborough F.C.'s McCain Stadium.

History

Scarborough Pirates RLFC were formed in 1991 under Chairman Geoffrey Richmond the then Chairman of Scarborough F.C. Len Casey was Head Coach.

Scarborough played their first competitive game on Sunday 25 August 1991 away to Doncaster in a Yorkshire Cup preliminary round match. Scarborough won 14-10 in front of 1,080 spectators.

Scarborough started the season well and finished ninth in the newly formed fourteen-club Third Division with ten wins and fourteen defeats. However, attendances at the McCain Stadium were poor; with only four of their fourteen home matches attracting crowds of over 1,000. Richmond disbanded the club after just one season citing a lack of local interest.
