Boroughkeeper Patrick O'Flaherty then did well to produce two saves in quick succession as Borough came under pressure.

The home side broke the deadlock three minutes before the break, when Borough could only half clear the ball. It fell to Stuart Fleetwood, who hammered in a left-foot volley from 18 yards.

In the second half, Joe Lea went closest on 73 minutes with a shot into the side netting.

Borough then wasted a glorious chance to level in the final minute firing wide from six yards.
