BURLEY TROJANS RES 4, BOROUGHBRIDGE 'A' 4
On a quagmire of a pitch against a much improved Burley side Bridge were outplayed for the opening twenty minutes and goals from Simon Walker and Danny Kenna looked to be the start of an avalanche. An injury to the experienced Mark Schofield seemed to compound Bridge's problems but a shuffling of the pack together with the introduction of Gary Watts and a goal from the returning Steve Warburton settled Bridge down. The optimism going into the second half was crushed within five minutes when Tom McDermott added a third and again the home side looked to be in cruise control. Bridge showed plenty of resolve and within ten minutes they were back on level terms as a Paul Scaife strike and a cross cum shot from Tom Ekin evaded Jack Marchant in the home goal. Less than five minutes had elapsed before Walker added his second and with time slipping away the visitors brought on Mark Burniston for his senior debut who proved an instant success when with his first touch the young striker opened his account to give Bridge a thoroughly deserved point.
