Herne Bay’s chances of survival took another big blow as they were narrowly beaten at home by Haringey on Tuesday night. After two wins in a row for Bay, Borough skipper Scott Mitchell came up with the only goal in the second half and, despite late pressure, Bay suffered a 1-0 defeat.
The visitors had the first opportunity in the 12th minute at Winch’s Field despite a decent start by the hosts. Mitchell prodded wide a free-kick which had been dragged back to him.
But four minutes later, Mitchell became the first player booked for a late foul on home midfielder Connor Dymond in front of a crowd of 381.
Mitchell proved a busy man, particularly in the early stages, then being sent into the advertising board on 18 minutes after a seemingly innocent tussle with recalled Herne Bay striker Daniel Ogunleye.
