Harrow Borough’s County Cup defence came to a disappointing end after losing 3-0 at Ashford Town (Middlesex) on Tuesday night.

The holders were dumped out of the competition at the quarter-final stage after losing to a side two levels below them.

Bailey Mummery opened the scoring midway through the second half before Jack Beadle made it 2-0.

Ashford Town sealed their victory deep into injury time when Mark Bitmead found the net.

But Boro claimed an impressive 2-1 home win over promotion contenders Billericay Town in the Ryman Premier Division on Saturday.

It certainly did not start off too promisingly though as the visitors grabbed the opening goal.

Jordan Cox picked up the ball and fired a low effort past Brendan Hazlett for the visitors’ breakthrough.

But the hosts responded to the setback and equalised after 21 minutes. Harry Newman sent in a free kick and Lewis Driver headed home at the far post.

Harrow grabbed the winning goal four minutes into the second half. Driver held off a couple of challenges and set up Spencer McCall to nod past the visiting keeper.

The Reds face a difficult trip to title challengers Dulwich Hamlet on Saturday.
