Saturday's First Division North action review

Boro won 3-0 at New Mills with goals from Alex Peterson and Joe Fox in the first 26 minutes and then a Tom Corner penalty four minutes after half-time.

Northwich Victoria went one better on their travels at Ossett Town, adding three more second half goals to Aboubacar Sanogo`s 27th minute opener with Richard Bennett, Iain Howard and Josh Amiss all on the mark.

Mossley AFC secured a 2-0 win at Stainton Park against neighbours Radcliffe Borough with goals from Tom Pratt after 19 minutes and Luke Hancock six minutes into the second half.

Kendal Town and Lancaster City were the day`s other two away winners.

The Mintcakes enjoyed a good 3-0 win at Throstle Nest against Farsley Celtic, courtesy of a brace from the recently returned Tom Kilifin and Sam Bailey.

The Dolly Blues saw off Burscough 2-1 at Victoria Park with goals from Joe Whittington and Ryan Winder – Nick Ryan sandwiching a reply for the Linnets.

Strangely there were only two home winners on the opening day!

Relegated Witton Albion beat Ossett Albion 1-0 at Wincham Park with a 71st minute goal from Alex Titchiner, while Clitheroe beat Prescot Cables 3-1, goals from Louis Mayers and a Scott Harries brace after Rob Doran had given Cables an 11th minute lead.

There were several drawn matches, including relegated Trafford`s 2-2 encounter at home against Brighouse Town, who were 2-0 down to a first half Chris McDonagh penalty and a Jack Dorney effort. James Pollard and then Ernest Boafo two minutes from time rescued a point.

Vince Dhesi gave Harrogate Railway an early fouth minute lead at Station View against Droylsden, whose Ben Hampson earned a point in the 63rd minute.

Astley Mulholland put newly-promoted Glossop North End ahead after 14 minutes at home to Spennymoor Town, for whom Glen Taylor levelled from the spot on the hour-mark.

And Warrington Town found themselves two Brett Ormerod goals behind at Irongate against Bamber Bridge with only 10 minutes to go – only for Scott Metcalfe and then Ciaran Kilheeney to earn the Wire a dramatic point.
