Haringey Borough continue to chase down the play-off places as they travel away to strugglers Merstham this weekend.
Manager Tom Loizou and his side head to Moatside on Saturday looking to build on a draw in mid-week which saw them slip down to eighth but just two points off the top five after 11 matches.
Haringey sealed a 1-1 draw away to promotion hopefuls Bishop’s Stortford on Tuesday evening at the ProKit Stadium.
Defender Scott Mitchell opened the scoring in the 72nd minute as he turned home a corner at the near post to give Borough a 1-0 lead.
That was Mitchell’s second goal in as many games as he begins to shine for Haringey.
The hosts were level 10 minutes later when Anthony Church picked out Jake Cass inside the area who turned and fired low into the far corner.

Earlier in the match Haringey were awarded a penalty when the visitors pounced upon a poor pass in midfield and after a long ball forward Jake Giddens collided with Alfred Bawling.
