Darwen boss angry at officials
DARWEN manager Steve Wilkes blasted the officials after his side went down 2-1 at Squires Gate in NWCL Division One.
Assistant manager Matt Atkinson was sent off, for the second time this season, for foul and abusive language after the home side got the winner.
Darwen went ahead through Phil Rose on six minutes before Steve Longworth equalised after the break and Paul Payntor got the winner despite looking yards offside.
Atkinson was dismissed after remonstrating with the assistant referee.
Wilkes said: "The referee and linesmen were incompetent."
