In Pitching In Isthmian North we had a London derby, as Walthamstow took on Haringey Borough. Stow had been in good form, as highlighted by their four-nil thumping of Grays Athletic on Saturday, and were looking to climb up to eighth and pick up a fifth win in six- and they did just that, a goal in each half seeing off the visitors challenge.
The opener arrived on sixteen minutes, Rasheed Salau with it- his first of the season- although Borough were soon given a chance to level from the spot, but home keeper Finn Rushton had other ideas. Just before the hour Stow skipper Ali Njie knocked the (sage and onion) stuffing out of the visitors by adding a second, heading home after good work from Tayo Oyebola, and that was that. Borough hit the bar late on, and their irrepressible support continued to give their all, but they ended the night with naught to show for their efforts. Borough remain two points from safety, and have played two or even three matches more than the sides they are chasing.
