And although Boro dropped their first points of the campaign, they came away with a deserved 1-1 draw to keep their title challenge on track.

Boro started the first half strongly and played some of their best football of the season to pin the hosts back, but lack of finishing and good goalkeeping kept the visitors at bay.

Fulford took the lead and held on until half-time, following a contentious decision from the stand-in referee.

Boro pressed again after the break and again had to deal with some decisions not going their way, including a good penalty shout turned down, but did grab the equaliser from Gracie McLoughlin to keep them on course.
