Birkenhead Park lose out to Middlesbrough

BIRKENHEAD PARK suffered their first defeat in six outings in National 3 North League against Middlesbrough.

Boro made the most of the wet and windy conditions to build up a 15-0 interval lead.

Dave Hall for Park then landed three penalties to one by Boro’s O’Farrell before a bull dozing try from replacement Matt Ibbotson put the game in the balance at 18-14.

But Park faltered in defence at a vital time with Campbell crossing in the corner in the 78th minute to seal the win.
