Joshua Popool netted the game’s only goal with seven minutes left to leave Danny Bloor’s men empty-handed and down to 11th in the table.
Not even the 88th minure sending-off of Cheshunt’s Ken Charles gave Borough a way back into the game. The Sports will look for better when they make the long trek to Taunton on Tuesday.
