It was still all Boro and we got our deserved reward on the stroke of half time when Jimmy Beadle headed home from a Ryan Blott cross, Boro fans were relieved, but even more joy was to come minutes later before the referee blew for half time, deep into added time Hackworth was manhandled in the 'Gate penalty area by Parkate's Jackson, the referee pointed to the spot and up stepped Bryan Hughes to send keeper Poulter the wrong way, the referee then blew to end the half, Boro were 3-1 up and that score was a fair reflection on the performance of the teams.

I have avoided comments about the referee so far, but he was clueless, just ask his assistant who himself seemed bemused at some of Mr Smith's decision making, he allowed Parkgate back into the game by awarding them what I consider the most ridiculous penalty decision I have ever witnessed, Parkgates Sam Smith was running through toward the Boro goal, the word running does not really explain the sluggish forward movement of the big man, 'donkey' comes to mind, anyway Sam actually looked knackered when he was close to the Boro goal and he just seemed to fall over his own feet and drop to the ground like a sack of coal, Boro defender Plummer never touched Sam, and yet the referee pointed to the spot giving Parkgate an opportunity to close the arrears.

To be fair 'Gate began to look a little dangerous during the last quarter and they did create a couple of half chances, but my 'man of the match' Jimmy Beadle put Boro 4-2 up in the 89th minute with a cracking shot leaving Poulter with no chance, the scoreline flattered Parkgate, I think the game will be remembered as much for the ref's decisions as the football itself .
