An extra-time
Andy Atkin winner sent Borough into the third round of the
Setanta Shield with a 3-2 victory over Fisher Athletic at
the Champion Hill Stadium on Tuesday night. 2-0 up with
80 minutes on the clock Borough were stunned by two Fisher
goals in three minutes and 2-2 forced extra-time - something
Borough could have done without but needed to save their
blushes. Atkin with his fifth goal of the season got the
winner on 99 minutes, deftly guiding a header into the corner
of the net from a fine Darren Budd cross.
As expected Garry Wilson shuffled his squad for the trip
to the Blue Square South side who have lost their manager
and three players to Grays in the last week and are facing
mounting off the field problems. Keeper Chris Winterton
and defender Pat Sappleton were given competitive debuts.
Budd, Andy Ballard, Nathan Crabb, Mo Harkin, Simon Wormull
and Pat Harding all started. Matt Smart missed the game
serving his one match ban for five cautions - making him
available for the away day at Weymouth on Saturday. It was
to prove a night of mixed fortunes for Sappleton who headed
Borough"s second and what most thought would be Borough"s
win sealing goal and then had the misfortune to deflect
a Fisher corner into his own net to level the scores!
Borough dominated the first half but only had a Wormull
strike to show for their efforts. Harkin had two chances
that went narrowly wide. Borough made it 1-0 in the 2nd
minute. Harkin put in Allan Tait and his shot produced a
fine one handed save by Fisher keeper Simon Overland only
for Wormull to slot the rebound into the net. Winter was
only called upon to make one save in the entire first half
pushing away a strike from Karl Beckford. Williams-Hall
broke through on 40 minutes and with only the rapidly advancing
Winterton to beat shot wide. On the stroke of half time
Nathan Crabb saw his goal-bound effort cleared off the line.
67 minutes and Sappleton powered a header from a corner
over the bar and 4 minutes later he again rose above the
Fisher defence to head Borough into a 2-0 lead.
81 minutes Jordan Kaffin - five minutes after coming on
as a substitute - totally against the run of play gave Fisher
a lifeline by applying the finishing touch a slick six pass
move. And it became a total nightmare for Borough three
minutes later when a Ken Beaney free kick, hit with pace
into the box, was deflected off the unfortunate Sappleton
into his own net. 2-2 and suddently Borough were on the
back-foot and Fisher looked the more likely to grab a late
winner.
2-2 at full-time and some no punches pulled words from Garry
Wilson and Nick Greenwood. Extra time and Andy Atkin - on
as a substitute after 55 minutes when Nathan Crabb went
off injured - wasted two chances but on 99 minutes he made
no mistake with a glancing header from a Budd corner.
Job done, banana skin avoided but Borough could so easily
have been punished for those 10 minutes that let Fisher
back in the game. Having dominated for most of 110 minutes
out of two hours Borough just deserved to go through but
they certainly made it much harder for themselves than what
it should have been!
