Player-boss Macca breaks the deadlock

NOMADS' Mark McGregor grabbed a lifeline in the fight for survival as Druids slumped to yet another single goal defeat.

The player-boss headed home at the far post from a right-wing corner 20 minutes from time to settle the contest.

The hosts had been resuced a goal line clearance and the woodwork in the first-half, with Ricky Wright clearing from a long throw and a shot rattling a post four minutes before the break.

Sam McNutt also blazed over for the visitors at the end of a solo run.

Druids might have taken the lead just past the hour an Aled Evans flagged kick was met by a strong header from TNS loanee Sean Jones which struck a defender on the line was was cleared to safety.

Three minutes later Aled Evans cut-in from the right and sent in a low curling shot which keeper Terry McCormick did well to palm away from goal and out of the path of Michael Taylor.

A 25-yard shot from Jamie Crowther went narrowly wide of McCormick's left hand post before McGregor scored and Chris Herbert nearly doubled the advantage when his powerful half volley was tipped over by Chris Mullock.
