Borough recorded
their fourth win in five games to collect three valuable
points at the Marston Arena.
A goal in each half from Paul Armstrong and substitute Allan
Tait gave Borough the spoils in a game where the points
were important to both sides. And it could have been victory
by a greater margin had referee Bond not disallowed Ben
Austin’s second half header, much to the surprise
of onlookers.
Pat Harding shot over the bar in the fourth minute and a
Karleigh Osborne throughball required a last ditch tackle
with Nathan Crabb about to shoot.
Northwich responded with Jonny Allan firing high….and
Neil Jenkins did well to head clear from the goal-line on
sixteen minutes from a home corner.
Borough’s dominance was rewarded on 27 minutes when
Armstrong volleyed home from the edge of the area across
goalkeeper Michael Jones…to give Borough the lead.
Although Borough retained the majority of possession, the
home side were not without chances. Matty Crowell, later
to be sent off for two yellow cards (77 mins), sent in a
shot that went wide of Lee Hook’s right hand post.
Borough finished the half brightly with Nathan Crabb narrowly
beaten to the ball by keeper Jones.
Northwich came out in determined fashion for the second
period, with Allan slicing the ball wide from six yards….but
on 53 minutes Aaron Burns slotted the ball home from close
range following a left flank cross.
On 55 mins Armstrong was scythed down and stretchered from
the pitch, to be replaced by Simon Wormull.
From the free-kick, Ben Austin appeared to have regained
the lead for the visitors, but his headers was mysteriously
ruled out for handball..identified by the assistant referee.
Following Crowell’s dismissal, Allan Tait replaced
Nathan Crabb….and within five minutes Tait had given
his side the lead. A move involving Jenkins, Wormull and
Atkin saw Tait sent free to finish coolly under the advancing
keeper.
Borough pressed home their numerical advantage with Atkin
striking the bar from an acute angle in time added on……and
there was still time for a Tait shot to brush the post.
As the final whistle blew their was jubilation amongst the
travelling fans, in recognition of a controlled and professional
performance.
Manager Garry Wilson praised his team for a battling display,
"It was pleasing to see the players stand
up to a physical Northwich threat and get back to winning
ways on the road. We took our goals well and were unfortunate
not to get a third. A positive display which puts the squad
in good spirit for the forthcoming FA cup tie.”
