Miguel Ngwa and Jack Connor featured for AFC Rushden and Diamonds who lost 2-0 away to Alvechurch in the Pitching In Southern League Premier Central on Tuesday.
Midfielder Ngwa and forward Connor were both named in the starting lineup, and the Northampton Town pair were involved in most of their side’s chances.
Ngwa’s searching cross for Connor was cleared to the edge of the area from where a curled shot was saved in the first half.
After the break, Connor flicked on a throw-in which led to a volley into the side-netting, a deep Ngwa corner was played back into the middle and headed over from close range and Connor’s effort from a cutback was tipped over by the goalkeeper.
