Malcolm Crosby put out a young inexperienced side, in fact only Jason Kennedy had previous first team experience, but they beat their hosts by one goal to nil at Christie Park in Morecambe.
In a pretty dire game Boro left it until the last ten minutes to earn the victory. Graeme Owens finishing well after a poor clearance from the Blackburn keeper.
Boro team:
Knight, Johnson, Grounds, Kennedy, Liddle, Williams (Mulligan), Thompson (Clough), Walker, Craddock (Hutchinson), Robson, Owens
