Radcliffe 3 Wakefield & Emley 2: STEVE Foster's hat-trick gave Borough three Unibond Premier Division points - but they were left hanging on by a late Wakefield fightback.
Borough recovered from the blow of conceding an early goal, with Wakefield taking a 12th-minute lead through Phil Lindley.
Kevin Glendon's side lacked conviction, but equalised after 35 minutes through Foster's well-taken effort.
They took a rather undeserved lead a minute before the break following hesitation in the visitors' defence.
Foster completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot after he had been brought down and Borough looked to be in control.
But then Robbie Painter's 64th-minute free kick drifted in at the far post to give the visitors hope. Wakefield applied late pressure, but Borough held on.
