Harrow Borough picked up their first win of the Isthmian Premier Division season, extending their unbeaten start to three games in the process, with a 1-0 win over Brentwood Town on Saturday.

A header from captain Marc Charles-Smith separated the two sides and pushed Steve Baker’s Boro side up to 15th place.

The visitors, managed by former Wimbledon striker Dean Holdsworth, went close in the second minute but Shad Ngandu saw his effort kept out well by Reds keeper Ben Goode.

It was then the turn of Brentwood’s Martyn Guest to block from Lewis Driver after the away side’s goalkeeper had misplaced a weak clearance.

The winner arrived just after the half-hour mark when Joshua Webb curled in a cross which was glanced home by the head of Charles-Smith, the striker’s second in as many games.

Boro were fortunate not to conceded an equaliser after the restart but held form and might have snatched a second when Charles-Smith prodded over from the corner of the six yard box.

Harrow have drawn the winner of the FA Cup preliminary round tie between Aylesbury United and Northwood in the first qualifying round.

The Reds went to Burgess Hill Town on Wednesday.
