Adam May and Kai Corbett scored first half goals to put Steve King’s side 2-0 up but the Hampshire side came back strongly, making it 2-1 before the break, levelling midway through the second half then finding a winner a minute from the end of the 90.
So Borough will end in bottom place and all they can hope is that they can go out with a bang in their final game, at Chelmsford City next Saturday.
