The draw against Farnborough is a result that extends Rovers unbeaten run to eight matches and as a consequence of Farnborough not winning, has handed the title to Royston Town. Congratulations to all their players and staff.
The game itself began at a frantic pace, with high pressure football from the visitors. Boro forced a succession of early corners but without really testing Rovers keeper Conway.
It took until the twenty fourth minute for either keeper to be really tested and it was Rovers that forced the issue. Luke Heneghan crossed for Jake Newman to head on goal, which was parried behind. From the resulting corner, the ball worked its way to the edge of the box where Heneghan had a curling effort just wide.
Very early in the second half, Conway had to be at his sparkling best to deny Farnborough with a spectacular low save, down to his left at full stretch.
The match continued to be a tight affair, with both defences on top. It is easy to see how Farnborough have maintained their second place in the league so well this season, with a high pressure, robust, style of football they were not going to lie down.
Kempston found another gear in the last ten minutes and went in search of the elusive goal that would surely have won the game. Jamaine Ivy had a shot deflected that went just wide and from the corner, Seb Simpson rose unmarked in the area but headed wide. With two minutes left on the watch, Ash Fuller drove into the box and put an inviting low cross in, only for a Boro leg to block at the last minute. The corner was headed just wide by Simpson, again unmarked.
The point leaves Rovers just one point behind the play off positions with one game in hand, crucially with the same goal difference as fifth placed Marlow. Farnborough remain in second, and although the title may have now mathematically gone for them, they still need a win to seal second place and the home advantage in the play offs that comes with it. Rovers travel to Ashford in Middlesex on Saturday as they look to keep their unbeaten run going and break into the play off positions.
