9. Liam Mandeville 7
Can't fault his work-rate. Came close to scoring in the second-half when he cracked an effort against the crossbar from distance. Photo: Tina Jenner
10. Danny Rowe 7
Smashed home the penalty for the opener and his fifth goal of the season. One of his trademark raspers almost found the net in the second-half. His partnership with Tshimanga was another positive for boss Rowe. Photo: Tina Jenner
11. Kabongo Tshimanga 8
He was brought down by goalkeeper Ashmore for the penalty. He then scored a screamer against his former club from the edge of the area after twisting and turning before finding half a yard. Ten goals in 12 league games for him now. More impressive was his work-rate and constant hounding of the Boreham defence. He never game them a minute's peace. Photo: Tina Jenner
12. Alex Whittle 7
Replaced the injured Miller in the second-half and did a sound job. One cross in the second-half almost led to a goal for Laurence Maguire. Photo: Tina Jenner
