Jack Debnam then drew the game level with another 20 yard powered effort creeping its way inside of the post after 55 minutes. The comeback was then completed in the 72nd minute when Caine Winfarrah's low cross was parried away onto to Adam Drury who fort off the defenders and slotted it into the unmanned net. Borough had chances to confirm victory Danny Trott coming close on two occasions of of which rebounding off the inside of the post.
