They led 1-0 for 13 minutes in the second half and that result would have won them top spot as Havant could only draw away to Kingstonian.

But they let Will Salmon sneak in for an equaliser then couldn’t find the winner.

It means they’re in the play-offs - for an amazing fifth time in seven seasons, with Wingate and Finchley coming to Nyewood Lane on Thursday evening for a semi-final which will be decided on the night.
