On 69 minutes, the visitors got themselves back in the game through Josh Chamberlain, but four minutes into stoppage time, Hertford sealed their win thanks to Tami Ogunnowo​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​.

It means Berkhamsted can instead seal the title on their own patch, where they have a 100 per cent record this season, when they host Kidlington on Saturday.

*Hemel Hempstead Town, meanwhile, cling on to a faint hope of reaching the National League South play-offs, a 3-0 win at home to Concord Rangers on Saturday leaving them six points off the top seven.
