Consett secured a late comeback victory on the road thanks to an 87th-minute goal from Donny Holdsworth. The match began with Borough taking the lead in the 40th minute when Charlie Clements found space in the box and finished confidently past Consett goalkeeper Harry Moss.

Early in the second half, Consett responded swiftly. Four minutes after the break, Micheal Ledger capitalized on a free kick, firing a powerful shot to level the score. The game remained tightly contested, with a moment of controversy arriving in the 53rd minute. Oli Thompson appeared to score after a significant deflection, and the goal was initially awarded, but after consultation between the officials, it was ruled offside.

Consett eventually broke the deadlock later in the match following a defensive mistake by Borough. Thompson seized the opportunity to advance on goal and delivered a precise pass to Donny Holdsworth, who completed the move with an easy finish to secure the win. The result highlighted Consett’s resilience and ability to overturn the deficit in the final stages of the contest.
