Saturday, 22 March 2008
Desborough hot shot Michael Byrne fired his side into a three way tie for second place while inching Blue Cross closer to the relegtion trapdoor.
A sixth minute opener by Byrne gave Desborough a great start despite home protests for handball in the build up and the striker doubled Ar Tarn's lead three minutes before the interval, converting a disputed spot kick.
A twice taken Scott McGregor penalty on the hour, awarded for a foul on Marc Keogh, gave Wootton hope but with ten minutes to go Byrne completed his hat trick to wrap up Desborough's success.
Wootton: Dan Rogers, Stuart Richardson, Damon Hazlewood, Richard Cook (Paul McKeaveney), Tom Francis, Jimmy Fay, Jamie Cole, Scott McGregor, Gavin Batt (Marc Keogh), Ben Baines, Craig Daniel.
Desborough: Michael Evans, Michael Stanton (Paul Doherty), Chris Logan, Danny Pownall, Paul Malone, Ben Armstrong, Jamie O'Neill, Michael Sneddon (Joe Cossey), Michael Byrne (Stuart McClarty), Paul Caswell, Jamie Gilsenan.
