<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;">&nbsp;Worthington and Parsons the back four, Dale, Goodchild, Simpson and&nbsp;

<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">Ince in the midfield with&nbsp;

<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&nbsp;

<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&nbsp;

<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">struggling for numbers&nbsp;and started the game with only ten men. A couple of half chances&nbsp;

<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">created by Boreham we're not &nbsp;converted only for the OCs who would see their first&nbsp;

<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">real attack break the deadlock. Against the&nbsp;run of play, 15 minutes in, OCs worked&nbsp;

<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">the ball down Boreham's right, the left midfielder had loads&nbsp;to do on the corner of&nbsp;

<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&nbsp;

<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&nbsp;

<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&nbsp;

<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.&nbsp;

<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&nbsp;

<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&nbsp;

<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&nbsp;

<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&nbsp;

<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&nbsp;

<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&nbsp;

<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&nbsp;

<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&nbsp;

<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&nbsp;

<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&nbsp;

<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&nbsp;

<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&nbsp;

<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&nbsp;

<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&nbsp;

<pre style="line-height: 21px; white-space: normal; color: #444444; font-size: 15px;">Boreham's play over the past few weeks.<br /><br />FT 1-1
