SHIREBROOK TOWN TOOK TO THE FIELD WITH ONLY 10 MEN FOR THIS NCEL PREMIER DIVISION CLASH AS A CAR CARRYING 4 OF THEIR PLAYERS FAILED TO REACH QUEENSGATE DUE TO AN ACCIDENT AND HOLD-UP'S.
BORO BEGAN IN STYLE AND HIT THE SHIREBROOK POST WITHIN 60 SECONDS OF KICK OFF AND SOON AFTERWARDS RYAN BLOTT HAD A SHOT WELL SAVED BY TOWN 'KEEPER MARK FROST.
IT WAS GOING TO BE A DIFFICULT DAY FOR TOWN IN THE QUEENSGATE SUNSHINE, BORO HAD ATTACK AFTER ATTACK BUT HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THE 20th MINUTE BEFORE THEY FINALLY BROKE THE DEADLOCK, FOLLOWING A GRAHAM BOTHAM CROSS JOEL HARTLEY WAS ON HAND TO SLOT THE BALL HOME FROM CLOSE RANGE.
BETWEEN THIS GOAL AND THEIR SECOND IN THE 35th MINUTE OF THE GAME BORO COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN 6 GOALS TO THE GOOD AS THEY HAD SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES, BUT THEY HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THE 35th MINUTE FOR CRAIG PALMER TO DOUBLE BORO'S ONE GOAL ADVANTAGE.
HALF TIME COULD NOT COME QUICK ENOUGH FOR THE TOWN PLAYERS BUT THEY MANAGED TO KEEP THE SCORE AT 2-0 AT THE END OF THE HALF.
THE 2nd HALF WAS JUST 5 MINUTES OLD WHEN CRAIG PALMER ADDED HIS 2nd AND BORO'S 3rd GOAL AFTER LATCHING ON TO A JOEL HARTLEY HEADER, THEN WITHIN 1 MINUTE OF THE RE-START BORO WERE 4 GOALS UP AS SCOTT PHILLIPS LET FLY FROM AROUND 25 YARDS LEAVING MARK FROST IN THE TOWN GOAL WITH NO CHANCE OF SAVING.
THE BORO ATTACKS CONTINUED AND CRAIG PALMER COMPLETED HIS HAT TRICK IN THE 72nd MINUTE FROM THE PENALTY SPOT.
6 MINUTES LATER OUR REGULAR PENALTY TAKER SCOTT PHILLIPS STEPPED UP TO THE SPOT HIMSELF AFTER A TOWN DEFENDER HAD HANDLED IN HIS AREA GIVING AWAY ANOTHER PENALTY.
STILL BORO SEARCHED FOR MORE GOALS BUT TOWN DEFENDED BRAVELY AND THE FINAL SCORE REMAINED BORO 6 TOWN 0.
THE NEXT GAME FOR BORO WILL BE THE REARANGED AWAY FIXTURE AT RAINWORTH MW ON TUESDAY EVENING.
