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.
