Bostik Premier: Merstham 0 Haringey Borough 0
Haringey Borough and Merstham could not be separated in the Bostik Premier at the weekend with the promotion-chasing sides producing a goalless draw.
Tom Loizou’s men were probably the happier of the teams at full-time with their spot in second still assured.
Both clubs went into the fixture knowing the importance of a victory, but also aware of how damaging a defeat could be.
It was therefore perhaps not a surprise to see a tight and cagey affair occur from the off in Surrey.
You may also want to watch:
Chances were few and far between and the first 45 ended goalless with no real moves made in this game of chest.
The second-half followed a similar pattern and despite a good opening for the hosts’ late on, it finished all square.
