Borough buzzing, Dragons down

The managers of the two teams had vastly contrasting reactions to Saturday's 2-1 Blue Square Premier victory for Eastbourne Borough over Wrexham.

Jamie Taylor headed Borough into the lead and, despite a sending off for Neil Jenkins after the break for a bad tackle on Jamie McCluskey, Liam Enver-Marum punished a poor back-pass to double their lead.

Mike Williams scored a late consolation goal for the Dragons but relegation-threatened Borough were delighted to hold on for an important three points.

Eastbourne assistant manager Nick Greenwood told Non League Daily: "It was a thrilling victory for us today. That performance is Eastbourne Borough at its best.

"It was backs to the wall, bodies flying all over the place and everyone throwing themselves in for the cause. It's been a great boost to everyone today and that gives us a chance (of survival)."

Wrexham boss Dean Saunders blamed poor goals and blown chances for the defeat, saying: "We didn't start the game very well.

"We conceded a dreadful first goal. Second half we've come out not bad, then the referee sent one of their players off.

"We pressed and had enough chances to win five games in the end. The second goal was a shambles."
