After three straight home losses by the odd goal in three, Tommy Widdrington’s side looked to have turned the tide this time, leading fellow strugglers Chippenham 2-1 as the match went into injury time.
But seven minutes into those added on, the Wiltshire side – and three points had shrunk to one for fragile Borough.
It leaves them still ensconsed in the relegation zone – though with the distraction of an FA Trophy tie at Dorking to come this weekend.
