Harrow Borough remain in the Ryman Premier Division relegation zone after they suffered a disappointing 1-0 defeat against fellow strugglers Tonbridge Angels on Tuesday night.

Dave Anderson’s side struggled from kick off. Tonbridge moved the ball quickly around the pitch and only a fine one-handed save from Nick Jupp kept Harrow on level terms.

But Boro didn’t heed that warning and they fell behind in the 13th minute. A cross into the penalty area found Royce Greenidge unmarked and he had time to control and fire his shot past Jupp.

Harrow were poor in the opening half but should have levelled just before the break. Michael Bryan crossed for Marc Charles-Smith but his close range effort missed the target.

Boro didn’t improve after the interval. Half chances came and went for the hosts whilst Tonbridge should have added to their lead when John Sonuga broke through. However, he could only shoot well wide.

Tuesday’s lacklustre display was in stark contrast to Borough’s excellent performance against league leaders Margate on Saturday.

Harrow opened up a two goal lead at half time after Harold Odametey poked the opener past goalkeeper Nikki Bull and Charles-Smith struck a second.

Margate levelled in the second period as Luke Moore netted twice and then they went in front through Jamie Taylor.

But Boro ensured they claimed a point as Charles-Smith stabbed home from close range in the 90th minute.

Anderson’s side welcome Lewes to Earlsmead this weekend.
