A fantastic game of football tonight by two teams out to please the watching crowd on a cold, wet and windy night in South Yorkshire, it was Boro who opened the scoring with what was a rather fortunate bounce of the ball for Ryan Blott.
In the 26th minute of the game following a Boro corner, the ball landed at the feet of Ryan following an attempted clearance by the Parkgate defence and he swiftly reacted and hit the back of the net from close range.
Ryan went on to be man of the match in my opinion, he had an excellent game all night long.
Boro's joy however was shortlived as they allowed Parkgate an immediate equaliser.
Both teams continued to play some excellent football, though the score remained at 1-1 as the referee blew for half time.
Boro came out even stronger for the 2nd half, Joel Hartley had been an inspiration since his introduction mid way through the first half replacing n injured Gibson and it was one of his dazzling runs which lead to Boro's 2nd goal, as Joel approached the Parkgate goal after passing their defence with ease he was tripped by a Parkgate defender and the resulting penalty was put away by Ryan for what was not only his 2nd goal of the night but also the 2nd time he put Boro into the lead.
But once again even though Boro were the stronger of the two teams they sat back and let Parkgate equalise, this time straight from the re-start , we watched as Parkgate attacked straight from their centre and they were level once again before Boro fans had even stopped celebrating their goal just seconds earlier.
Boro controlled the rest of the game but could not find the winning goal, so we had to be satisfied with just the one point and not all three.
But, a fantastic all round performance from Boro, I cannot wait for Saturday now when Mitch Cook's Pickering Town/ Scarborough Town shower grace us with their presence at Queensgate.
I just hope that tonight's result and performance will stop the ridiculous posts and comments on certain forums regarding the future of the club and more importantly the future of the Boro management team, we have turned a corner and if we all pull together then the only way is up, tonight's performance was one of the best of the season.
