Haringey Borough slumped to their fifth consecutive defeat in Ryman League Division One North after losing 4-0 at home to Cheshunt on Tuesday night.

Luke Marshall opened the scoring for the visitors before the prolific Jason Hallett fired home their second of the game.

In the second half, Hallett scored again before Adam Bolle netted the fourth goal.

Boro remain bottom of the table but take a break from the league on Saturday when they visit Dunstable Town in the FA Trophy.

The club will stage the final of the Walter Tull Memorial Cup at Coles Park tomorrow night at 7.45pm.

This is the final of an Under-16s competition for the top youth teams in London and was also staged at the venue last year.

Walter Tull was only the second English professional footballer of Afro-Caribbean or mixed heritage to play in the top division of the Football League.

He was a forward with Tottenham Hotspur and also Northampton Town having been spotted playing for his local amateur club Clapton FC in 1908.  He was brought up in an orphanage in Bethnal Green and also lived in Northumberland Park for a time.

During the First World War he served in the Footballers’ Battalion of the Middlesex Regiment and saw action in the Battle of the Somme. 

Subsequently he was the first mixed race soldier to be commissioned as a second Lieutenant and while leading his company of 26 men during fighting in Italy was mentioned in despatches for “gallantry and coolness”. Sadly on returning to France he was killed in action during the Spring Offensive in March 1918.
