It was Pemi Aderoju’s stoppage time effort that earned Borough a deserved share of the points.
Arthur Grout’s first Borough goal had put them in front but the hosts took the lead through Kwesi Appiah and Finlay Barnes’ goals.
To their credit, Borough never gave in – and Aderoju netted in the fifth minute of added time to earn a point.
The point lifts Matt Gray’s team to two off the bottom and cup duties in their next two games mean they’re not in National South action again now until a trip to Maidenhead on October 18.
