RADCLIFFE Boro plunged to a 1-0 home defeat last night by Farsley Celtic in the Unibond League Division One.

This was despite the fact that the Leeds-based visitors had their goalkeeper sent off on the 14-minute mark and played the rest of the game with 10 men. Celtic fought a rearguard action catching Boro on the break on 49 minutes when Ian Blackstone converted the only goal of the game.

Boro's best chance of the game came when Simon Kelly's header rebounded off the crossbar.

Atherton Colls' home game against Great Harwood Town tonight has been postponed as the visitors are unable to travel due to the fuel crisis.
