Chirk suffered a 2-1 home defeat against strugglers Borras Park Albion. The visitors were well worthy of their win with them recording only their second league away win all season. Chirk started the stronger of the two sides with them dominating play for the opening 10 minutes of the game. Forwards Joe and Gareth Roberts caused the Borras defence a number of problems with their constant probing runs. Borras gradually got themselves into the game and started to play some attractive football. Midfielders Gareth Jones and Joe Garner increased in confidence as the game progressed with them constantly looking to thread the ball through to Roberts and Kavanagh upfront. Chirk's Joe Roberts found himself swamped by a host of defenders every time he got within the area, with Chirk's best chance of the half falling to Anthony Jones whose long range effort Borras keeper Jones just managed to tip over his own crossbar. Borras took the lead on 30 minutes through Mark Roberts, with the striker twisting and turning in the Chirk area to fire low past Valentine. Chirk's Gareth Roberts narrowly headed wide off a Matty Evans corner in the dying seconds of the first half. The second period saw Chirk trying to wear down the Borras rearguard, with Joe Roberts and Dean Riley both missing chances early on. Borras were awarded a penalty on 75 minutes after Chirk's Chris Hughes brought down Dale Hill when clean through. Hill converted to put his side two goals in front and on coarse for all three points. Chirk managed to grab a consolation goal back through youngster Dean Riley on 88 minutes but it proved to be to little to late. This was Chirk's first home defeat since November.
