Borough Succumb to 3 Card Trick
A game that promised so much ended with no points and 10 men for Stevenage. Graham Westley made 2 changes from Saturdays winning unit giving first starts to keeper Shane Gore and midfielder Ollie Berquez. The Borough custodian will wish to forget his first major incident when he fouled former Stevenage striker Justin Richards to concede a penalty from which Ian Selley opened the scoring
Despite the loss of Dino Maamria on 17 minutes for violent conduct towards Karl Murray, who was dismissed himself before the break, Borough then took control with midfield dynamo George Boyd netting twice to give the visitors an interval lead.
Within 5 minutes of the restart Gary Macdonald brought the Cards level and with the game heading for a draw Steve Ferguson curled in the winner for Boroughs arch rivals with 2 minutes left.
Borough Team:
S Gore - M Warner, J Goodliffe, A Henry, J Gregory - D Bulman, O Berquez, D Maamria, G Boyd - D Stamp, A Elding
Subs: J Nurse 74 (Stamp) D Williams 90 (Goodliffe)
In the nights other Conference matches Exeter beat new boys Kidderminster to move top while Accrington and Morecambe joined them on maximum points. Canvey Island, Halifax, Cambridge, Grays and York also won while 5 teams are yet to register a point - Aldershot, Altrincham, Southport, Scarborough and Gravesend
Hitchin powered to their first Southern Premier league win with Tommy Hayes scoring a hat-trick and Josh Sozzo the fourth as Northwood were beaten 4-2
