goals in the space of two minutes. The first arrived on 35 minutes. A throw from Mitchell Parker was not cleared and Matt Drage returned an intelligent ball where Sal Abubakaar blasted home.

Borough battled back and Ryan Moss set up George Moore who saw his effort go narrowly over the bar.

The nearest the Borough came to reducing the lead came on 82 minutes. A free kick was well struck by Moore but was saved. STAR MAN: Jack Ball (Hartley) ENTERTAINMENT: ★★★★★
