In an entertaining game at Earlsmead Blues had a two goal lead going into the break but a second-half fightback, helped by a bizarre decision by the officials, was enough to earn the hosts a draw.

Leroy Griffiths was on hand to apply a close-range finish when Orome got past Adam Louth and pulled the ball across from the right-side by-line. Nouble latched on to a through-ball, beat two defenders before tucking the ball past James Shea at his near post.

In the second period Harrow were given a lifeline when Charles-Smith was held down in the area by former Borough player, Ruddock Yala. Charles-Smith assumed responsibility drove the penalty past Kamurasi to make the score 2-1.

With 20 minutes to go the ball went out for a goal-kick but the referee bizarrely awarded a corner. After waving away the protests Charles-Smith rose at the near post to glance Osobu’s delivery past a crowd of players on the line to level the scores.

Blues had two good late chances to win the game but Shea made a brave save at the feet of Cruickshank and a similar save at the feet of the breaking Nouble to keep the scores level and secure the point.
