Boro' new boy Luke Oliver started at centre back, along side Barry Laker. In a match which to be fair lacked any real quality. Barry Laker and Rob Quinn clashed heads for the second time this season, after a serious lack of communication meant they both lept for the same ball.
Tamworth ran out worthy winners in the end, with two goals in 11 second half minutes. Firstly, Carl Heggs finished neatly after a Matthew Williams, corner took a touch from a Tamworth player and the second a well taken free kick from Matthew Williams.
Boro host Aldershot next weekend, and will be looking to bounce back from this blow, and get back on track with a winning Febuary.
