It was a thriller at the Mounting Systems Stadium on Saturday.
Boro were held 2-2 by promotion rivals Macclesfield, dropping out of the National North play-off places as a result.
Ste Walker opened the scoring with a scintillating chip inside ten minutes:
We won't keep you waiting any longer to watch this back 🤩

However, Macclesfield levelled before half-time.
Boro regained the lead as Walker netted his 15th goal of the season, within two minutes of the restart.
The turning point came when Alex Purver was red-carded for a high boot.
Despite their best efforts, the ten-man Seadogs couldn't hang on and their Cheshire visitors levelled, ten minutes from time.
Here's how Paddy saw it on This Is The Coast Extra:
Winger Harry Green spoke to Paddy after the game:
" It was very tough, but I think the lads dug in and seeing the end we all went out on our feet. Good point in the end. But shame to come away with not all three. It's one of them, it's like could be given and could not be given like the ref's made his mind up and have to stick with it in the end but I think it's harsh. It looked like we were going to go on and score more, but obviously with Purves going off with a red card, I think it just put us on the back foot a bit and they pushed on a bit and obviously got the goal, and then it was we need a result."
Boro boss Jono Greening told This Is The Coast the extra man made a big difference:
The Seadogs are back at the Mounting Systems Stadium on Tuesday.
They host Hereford with a 7.45pm kick-off in National North.
