RADCLIFFE Boro goalkeeper Danny Hurst was sent off on 67 minutes in last night's home 1-1 Unibond League Division One draw with Matlock Town.

The visitors substitute Vishiri had already caused Boro problems with his pace since his introduction into the game on 62 minutes. A Radcliffe attack broke down and Hurst left exposed fouled the lightning fast Matlock player just outside the area.

Earlier Boro's Neil Hardy had uncharacteristically miscued in front of goal for the best chance of the first half but made amends on 48 minutes with a precision finish into the top corner following good work by James Price and Andy Walker.

A minute later it was almost two as Rick Battersby crossed and Walker's effort came back off a post. Gradually Matlock got more out of the game and on 62 minutes they equalised when O'Reilly set up Rushboro.
