Saturday Football Roundup
Nationwide Conference
Miller Goal Beats Stimson’s Old Boys
An Adam Miller goal just before half time was enough to give Stevenage Borough the points in a bad tempered clash at Broadhall Way. Miller struck three minutes before the break finishing off debutant Bradley Johnson’s pass in a match that saw referee Steve Atwell produce nine yellow cards. Stevenage were rarely under pressure Alan Julian only forced to produce a fine save from Glen Poole’s left footed effort.
Stevenage: Julian: Fuller: Nutter: Gaia: Henry: Nurse (Dobson 87): Miller: Johnson: Beard: Boyd: Morison:
Saints Hang On
St Albans lifted themselves out of the relegation zone as they secured their first victory in 4 games. Saints raced into a three goal league after going ahead with one of the quickest goals of the season. Eliott Benyon firing home from 12 yards with only 18 seconds gone. Lee Clarke then doubled the advantage before Benyon added his second of the game. Manager Colin Lippiatt was then left to bite his nails as first Lee Tomlin and then Marcus Kelly pulled Diamonds back into contention.
St Albans: Bastock, Seeby, Elphick, Theobald, Damien Batt, Hann, Davis (Cracknell 69), Marwa, Walshe (Flynn 80), Clarke (Okuonghae 90), Benyon.
