Bizarre moment!
Ashmore’s goal kick is weak, Evans heads it back to him but it has too power and Ashmore scrambles back to clear it off the line and injures himself in the process. Tshimanga nearly forced the loose ball. in!
Off the bar!
Mandeville crashes one against the bar and then Rowe lets fly from distance and it didn’t look far away!
Fires miles over the bar from a free-kick from 20 yards. It was central and a great chance to test Loach.

Scrappy start to this half.
If Boreham’s Marsh had showed a better touch he would have been in on goal just moments ago.
