The Green Lions beat Binfield 2-0 last night and now must win at Harrow Borough tomorrow to have a chance of staying up as they are two points behind the Met Police, who have to play Sutton Common Rovers.
On a bumpy pitch at the Iconic Stadium yesterday, the first quarter of the game was scrappy though both goalkeepers were called into action with Seb Sheppard making an important block at the culmination of a Binfield counter-attack while Ross Allen tested Coleridge Fubler jnr from a tight angle.
The deadlock was broken on 34min. when Brandon Wallace found the bottom corner of the net with the aid of deflection.
Five minutes before the interval, Sam Murray came within a whisker of adding a second but, having been put through on goal after a neat move involving Charlton Gauvain and Allen, his shot on the run beat both the goalkeeper and the far post.
Murray was at the heart of the action again when GFC doubled their lead in the third minute of the second half.
The striker did brilliantly to win the ball on halfway and then he released Allen down the left wing. The GFC captain delivered a good cross, which Murray tried to force home before defender Montgomery Brady turned the ball into his own net.
Lynford Sackey hit the outside of a post for Binfield, but the majority of the chances were falling to GFC and Gauvain was left holding his head in his hands when Fubler made a remarkable close-range save to deny him after being teed up by Wallace.
The home keeper also denied Allen, but GFC had done enough.
