Goals from Jack McGowan and Connor Millington secure a 2-0 victory for Bootle at Newcastle Town and boost their play-off credentials.

The first chance fell for the Bucks. Jay Roberts ball across was spilled by the keeper, Jack McGowan cut the ball back to Connor Millington, who’s shot was well cleared by the Newcastle defender Luke Dennis.

Millington finds space and takes on a long-ranged shot, which tickles the gloves of Town keeper Joseph Slinn.

The Bucks started fast in the second half, with no real changes made, although the keeper was in action

Declan McLoughlin had two brilliant efforts on goal. One which was caught by Slinn, the other was a flick header that was tipped wide by the Newcastle Town keeper.

Newcastle had a few amazing chances. Firstly, Eden Bailey smacked the crossbar then Jacob Lovett slots wide.

The Bucks after much pressure took the lead. A Jay Roberts corner was caught by the wind and was heading out of play, but Connor Millington heads back to Jay McCarten, who’s shot was seeming to trickle over the line, but Jack McGowan smashes into the roof of the net to make sure of the goal.

Deep into injury time, a lovely finish by Connor Millington rounded off the day and a fine win for Bootle.
