<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">Boreham went into a double header with Old Chelmsfordians struggling
<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">for players, a mixture of injuries, work and players not fancying a
<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">game due to Sunday football causing headaches for the management.<br /><br />That said, a decent 11 took the field with Bruce in goal, Charter, Powell,
<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;"> Worthington and Parsons the back four, Dale, Goodchild, Simpson and
<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">Ince in the midfield with
<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">Cowcher partnering Rush up top. Baines the only sub available would later
<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">make his debut.<br /><br />Boreham started the game the livelier against an OCs side who were also
<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">struggling for numbers and started the game with only ten men. A couple of half chances
<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">created by Boreham we're not converted only for the OCs who would see their first
<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">real attack break the deadlock. Against the run of play, 15 minutes in, OCs worked
<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">the ball down Boreham's right, the left midfielder had loads to do on the corner of
<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">the area, he jinked inside and planted the ball into the far top corner of the
<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">net, a decent finish from the midfielder, Bruce had no chance.<br /><br />After only 20 minutes Boreham were unlucky to lose the services of Ince who suffered a
<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">reoccurrence of a knee injury picked up in training, he was replaced by Baines who made his senior
<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">debut.<br /><br />After the goal it was again Boreham who would take control and 5 minutes later they were level.
<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">A neat ball from Goodchild into Rush who took a shot from 22 yards which the keeper could only
<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">parry, Cowcher was quick to the rebound and finished from a yard out, a typical predatory goal
<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">from Boreham's top goalscorer, 1-1 and game on!<br /><br />Boreham finished the half strong and nearly took the lead a few minutes later, a Goodchild ball
<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">over the top was met by Cowcher who was clean through with the keeper to beat, Cowcher
<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">opted for a lob which crashed against the bar and was unlucky not to double his goal tally for
<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">the afternoon.<br /><br />OCs were restricted to a few half chances due to good defending, in truth OCs only
<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">opportunities were created by Boreham who were guilty of over playing in the wrong areas at
<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">times.<br /><br />HT 1-1<br /><br />With no subs available Boreham took to the field with an inexperienced right side and a few
<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">players carrying knocks. Boreham reduced OCs to half chances and continued to defend well
<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">with Bruce commanding his area and less risks taken at the back. Boreham's midfield battled
<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">on but struggled to create any chances of note for the front two, Rushy had a few shots from
<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">distance but his shooting boots were left in the nightclub a few hours before kick off.<br /><br />The game came to a disappointing end with little action of note, a share of the points and an
<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">improvement in the second game urgently required. Plenty of heart but too many errors which
<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">turned potential attacks into defending for our lives, something that has been creeping into
