Conference side Farnborough Town brought a strong side to Earlsmead for this Capital League encounter and duly went away with the points following a competent display against a willing Boro' side.

The game was tragically delayed for 30 minutes following a serious head injury incurred by a Farnborough player, who fell awkwardly to the ground following a clash of heads. The player could not be moved until an ambulance crew had attended and dealt with the situation.

After the delay Farnborough took the game by the scruff of the neck and goals from Christian Lee and Joff Vansittart (two) saw the visitors in command by half time.

Boro' fought back bravely in the second half but Vansittart completed his hat trick on 75 minutes before Kevin Powell clawed one back following a right wing corner from Jimmie Berry.

Boro' could have reduced the arrears further late on in the game but Jimmie Berry missed his kick when faced with an empty goal after visiting 'keeper Osborn had lost possession. Then Butterworth cleared twice off the goal line from Gabby Williams with Osborn well beaten on both occasions.

Overall a fair result, but Boro' have a number of positives that they could take out of the game.

An injury to Perry Norman late on in the game, however, would not have pleased watching manager, Edwin Stein.
