Abingdon's lack of firepower cost them victory as they shared the points with Marlow in an exciting 1-1 draw in Area Division 1 at Tilsley Park.

After taking the lead midway through the second half, Abingdon squandered several good opportunities and found themselves robbed of the three points as the visitors grabbed a late equaliser.

Abingdon's pressure finally paid off 15 minutes into the second half when they took the lead.

The ball was played to Matt Leney, in space on the right, and his fierce shot from the edge of the circle was helped into the net by Neil Spencer, standing two yards out.

Ten minutes from time, Abingdon had a goal disallowed and, almost immediately, Marlow equalised.

The visitors won a penalty corner, and when the ball was passed right to Ian Aitken, his shot from the edge of the circle deflected off an Abingdon defender's stick and past the diving keeper into the corner of the goal.

Banbury went six points clear at the top of Division 1 after a 6-2 away win at Gerrards Cross.

Bicester enjoyed an emphatic 4-1 win over Sonning.
