MCBRIDE PRIDE AT SUPERB WINNER

ALWAYS absorbing, often thrilling, and at the death, A heart-stopping: two goals in the last 15 minutes earned Eastbourne Borough a dramatic win over promotion rivals Boreham Wood.

- Kevin Anderson

Promotion rivals, with British Summer Time only just done? Well, yes: these two clubs will surely be battling for honours when the clocks go forward next April. And the Sports timed their win to perfection.

A coach breakdown en route had not been ideal preparation for the north Londoners, who did not arrive until after 2pm. But their confident, organised start to the match gave no hint, either of fluster or of the drama to come.
