Not a great performance today, but all the same 3 valuable points and a reasonable crowd considering the weather.
Town had their chances and were the better team for much of the 1st half and it was thanks to a Gary Hepples goal line clearance that Town did not take an earlier lead than their 22nd minute opener.
Boro captain Denny Ingram limped off after just 12 minutes, after injuring himself in a tackle.
Liam Davis opened the scoring for Town after he was played through by a team-mate, he had just 1 Boro defender to beat before slotting the ball past Tom Woodhead in the Boro goal.
It was almost a half hour before Boro had a reasonable chance of their own, but Ryan Blott's effort was saved by Town 'keeper Jody Barford.
Boro were struggling on a difficult pitch and things seemed to be getting worse when in the 35th minute Frank Belt had to be replaced by youngster Josh Clayton, this was just the 2nd game for Josh in a Boro shirt.
Richard Dunning
As half time approached with most of the crowd unhappy at the 1st half performance Boro scored a dramatic equaliser, Richard Dunning hit a beautiful shot which left Barford in the Town goal with no chance whatsoever of getting his hands anywhere near the ball.
So half time arrived with Boro maybe feeling a little lucky at been on level terms with their opponents.
The 2nd half got under way and both sides had chances as the game seemed to have picked up a little, Tom Woodhead in the Boro goal made a couple of really excellent saves, then in the 60th minute Boro made their final substitution when Richard Medcalf replaced Joel Hartley. Meddy
Richard Dunning almost got his 2nd goal of the game following the substitution but his shot hit the woodwork and went to safety, but yet again Town responded by going to the other end and almost scoring themselves, one effort in particular was goal bound before it was deflected for a corner by the Boro defence.
In the 75th minute of the game Ryan Blott received the ball in what appeared to be an offside position, but he was allowed to continue and his pass to Richard Medcalf resulted in 'Meddy' scoring the winning goal for Boro.
So, not a great spectacle but the excellent run put together by the team continues and we have another home game to look forward to on Tuesday night when Winterto Rangers will be visitors to Queensgate.Could it be 6 out of 6 for the Boro ?
