Leighton Tn 3, Abingdon Tn 2: Abingdon threw away a two-goal lead as they lost to a late deflected strike at title-chasing Leighton in Ryman Division 2 last night.
The visitors took a two-goal lead into the interval.
Joey Beauchamp put them ahead on 23 minutes with a volley from close range and Town made it 2-0 after 36 minutes.
Striker Tom Butler was brought down and Chris Johnson smashed the penalty past Bonfield.
Four minutes into the second period, Sommer reduced the arrears and they levelled matters after 69 minutes when Rawdon netted at the far post.
It was like the Alamo as Abingdon hung on against an increasingly confident home side.
Three minutes from time when Perrin's shot struck the heel of an on-rushing Town defender and cruelly deflected past Chris Brain in the Abingdon goal.
