Morison Treble Grabs Borough a Point
Morecambe 3 Stevenage Borough 3
A hattrick by Steve Morison earned Borough their first point of the campaign but Manager Mark stimson will feel his side should have secured all three in a pulsating encounter. Morison put Borough ahead with a right foot volley after just 41 seconds. The home side who'd struggled to adapt after that struck back with a Michael Twiss header 23 minutes in. While that was against the run of play Borough soon got themselves back in the driving seat when Morison scored his second from Adam Millers corner. Stevenage comfortably held on until half time but were then left to reflect on a disastorous start to the second period. Twiss leveled things from close range after 48 minutes before Danny Carlton drilled home Wayne Curtis pass to put Altrincham in front for the first time 2 minutes later. To their credit Stevenage continued to press forward Adam Miller hit a post and then Steve Guppy set up Morison to give the visitors a well deserved point.

Clarke Miss Costs Saints
Altrincham 2 St Albans 0
Manager Colin Lippiatt was left to reflect on what might have been as his St Albans side slipped to their second straight defeat. With the game scoreless and 35 minutes on the clock Lee Clarke missed the penalty which would have given the Saints the lead. Clarkes was the second miss from the spot after Altrincham's Stephen Aspinall saw his kick superbly saved by Paul Bastock. the home side went in front right on half time when Warren Peyton slotted home after Colin Little had hit the bar. Gary Talbot's 65th minute header finally killing off Saints resistance.
