Nuneaton Borough went joint top of the Dr Martens Premier League with a stunning 4-2 victory over a powerful Kings Lynn side last night.

Two-goal Barry Williams supplied the inspiration, but the victory owed much to a solid all round team performance.

Brendon Phillips' outfit showed tremendous attitude and fighting spirit to come away from East Anglia with the points which lifted them to the top of the league.

The teams were level at 2-2 at the break. Phillips put Boro in front against the run of play but Lee Cotterill wiped it out with a double-strike. Malcolm Christie, who was again the target of watching scouts, levelled it for Borough just seconds from the interval however with a coolly taken equaliser.

Borough took control in the second half and after Williams had restored their lead, Kevin Wilkin, on as substitute for Christie, scored the fourth goal in the last minute.

Bedworth United lost their second match of the new season by 2-0 at home to Wisbech Town last night and manager Billy Hollywood admitted: "We threw it away."

He said:

"We defended well for most of the game but we shot ourselves in the foot by gifting Wisbech their first goal.

"After that we never looked like getting anything out of the game and it was poor performance."

There seemed to be no danger in the 57th minute when Lee Stephenson crossed the ball for Wisbech, but it eluded everyone in the penalty area and trickled over the goal line.

Bedworth conceded a second goal well into stoppage time when Keeble converted Munns' pass.

VS Rugby were on the way to their first victory of the season in Dr Martens First Division but they conceded a last gasp equaliser and finished 1-1 at Bloxwich Town.

VS squandered several chances in the driving rain but finally broke through in the 62nd minute when Ashley Warner fastened on to Phil Murphy's cross, held off a challenge and slid a low shot into the net.

Jamie Lenton then missed a close range chance to put them further ahead. It proved to be a costly miss because Bloxwich won a free-kick in the last minute and Lee Hughes drove the ball into the net from the edge of the penalty area.

Racing Club Warwick have signed striker Robbie Ellison from Atherstone United. He goes straight into Racing's squad for tonight's match against Cinderford at Hampton Rd (7.45 pm) and is a timely signing with Adam Munday out injured for a month
