The Bees suffered their second defeat in four games thanks to Jermaine McGlashan’s goal four minutes from time. A lack lustre first half produce one good chance for either side Shaq Coulthirst missed Barnet’s when he scuffed his shot into Rob Lainton’s arms after good approach play by Elliott Johnson and Ephron Mason-Clark. Within seconds the visitors broke to the other end Bobby Grant curling a shot wide of Mark Cousins onto the post. Wrexham took the lead a minute after the restart, Akil Wright looping a header into the net when the Bees marking went missing. Ricardo Santos set up the equaliser hoisting a high cross into the box which Shaq Coulthirst headed home for his 19th goal of the season. With the game looking to end level second half substitute Mcglashan made the most of a mistake by Mark Cousins to loop the ball over the stranded keeper for the winner.

After last Saturday’s drama both locally and over the Aintree hurdles HRB Sport is counting our teams home in the race for survival or championship trophies.

Barnet were first past the post with a victory in the Prime Minister’s constituency where gladly there was no extension to the team’s foray into the danger zone. Despite the midweek loss to former manager John Still’s already relegated Maidstone and the end of an historic clean sheet run the team can celebrate National League football in 2019-20 in front of their fans with the visit of promotoon chasing Wrexham.

HRB Sport will have live commentary of the entire match.

News too of scores around the borough where Potters Bar can become the next team safe. A win at Margate combined with Burgess Hill dropping poit’s will see The Scholars achieve a second season in the top flight.

Wingate & Finchley are hot on their heels aiming to make up ground at Corinthian Casuals.

Hendon have the advantage of leading a pack of teams above the bottom group as they seek to extend good away form at Farnborough.

And Hadley are now involved in a 3 horse race for the title after Biggleswade FC’s win over Tring. These three teams share 76 points with Biggleswade having 2 games in hand.

All to play for on ahead of a crucial Easter season.
