Radcliffe Boro 0 FC United 0

CHANCES have been at a premium in the first half of the President's Cup Final, though both sides can lay claim to one good opportunity each.

In what has been a scrappy game thus far, the Rebel Reds sprung out of the traps with Rob Nugent having a first-minute header cleared off the line by Tony Whealing.

Boro steadied the ship and fashioned their best effort midway through the half when Neil Chapple sprung the offside trap only to his hit shot straight at Sam Ashton.
