Unibond Premier Division: Matlock Town 3 Radcliffe Boro 0: LEE Duffy was sent off as Radcliffe Borough crashed to defeat at Matlock.
Kevin Glendon's side survived three early scares before the home side went in front in the 22nd minute, just seconds after keeper Kevin Tye had prevented Duffy from giving Borough the lead.
Borough fought back, but the closest they came to scoring was through Steve Foster's overhead kick.
Matlock doubled their lead five minutes into the second half, with an Ian Clarke penalty after Simon Kelly had fouled him. Borough's hopes of salvaging anything from the game effectively disappeared when Duffy was sent off for a second bookable offence. And Barraclough compounded Borough's misery when he grabbed his second.
