Match Preview
The two sides meet having both been on national television in the last few seasons, following impressive runs in the most famous competition in the world.
Haringey Borough were shown live on TV in 2018 when they welcome AFC Wimbledon, only losing by a single goal to nil, from a goal in the 89th minute - much like Maldon's defeat over Newport County last season - that was Haringey's best ever run in the competition, however they have reached at least the 4th Qualifying Round in the last four season, which is a tremendous achievement and one they should be proud of. Last season, they lost at home to Yeovil Town of the Conference Premier in the 4th Qualifying Round.
Interesting Fact:

During two seasons with the Jammers, Dombaxe made a total of sixty-three appearances, scoring six goals in the process.
