Harrow Borough fell to a fourth successive league defeat when they went down 2-1 at home to high-flying Bognor Regis last night. 

The defeat followed Saturday’s 2-0 reversal at the hands of Needham Market and means Borough have taken just eight points since Christmas and lie 19th in the Ryman League Premier Division table, one place above Needham who closed the gap with Saturday’s win.

Harrow began Saturday’s game well enough but could not make the breakthrough before the visitors opened the scoring on 42 minutes. That knocked the stuffing out of Boro and their second half never matched the first and it was no surprise when the visitors doubled their lead.

But on Tuesday, the Reds could count themselves unfortunate when they lost at home to a Bognor side unbeaten in the league in 2016.

Boro took the lead through Marc Charles-Smith’s penalty before first-half goals by James Crane and Craig Robson swung the game in the visitors’ favour.

Harrow twice had efforts cleared off the line and they could not find a way past inspired visiting keeper Grant Smith. Their frustration was summed up when coach Darron Wilkinson was sent off.

Harrow visit Staines on Saturday and host Met Police on Monday.
