Football Roundup
Nationwide Conference
Stevenage Borough gave their promotion hopes a huge boost with victory over fellow contenders Morecambe. Jon Nurse's first-half goal allowed them to leap-frog their opponents into third place. From a free-kick, Nurse worked himself into a one-on-one with Steven Drench and then lobbed the advancing keeper. Morecambe thought they had equalised when Garry Thompson's point-blank effort looked to have crossed the line before goalkeeper Alan Julian cleared.
