Didicot Town twice away the lead as they went down to a last-gasp 3-2 home defeat in Division 1 South & West at the npower Loop Meadow Stadium on Saturday.

Leading 2-1 at the break, the Railwaymen allowed the visitors to hit back for victory.

Didcot started the stronger and almost took the lead on three minutes when Mark Janes’s header from a Jamie Heapy cross was deflected over.

They kept up the pressure and went ahead soon afterwards. Luke Carnell flicked on a long free-kick and Ricky Allaway headed in unchallenged from close range.

However, Griffith was left helpless when Monelle levelled from Bath’s cross.

The Railwaymen retook the lead when Morgan Williams was fouled by Adnan Hiroli and Elliott Osborne-Ricketts made no mistake with the resulting penalty.

After the break, Didcot lost their rhythm and a mistake from Griffiths, who failed to hold Duharty’s shot in the wet conditions, allowed Bath to level again.

As both sides pushed for a winner, a quick breakaway saw Mangotsfield net the winner when Duharty beat Griffiths from 12 yards to clinch victory.

Didcot have the chance for revenge when they travel to Mangotsfield tonight.

Didcot Tn: Griffiths, McKirnan, Stanley, Osborne-Ricketts (Noble 88), Carnell, Allaway (T Janes 77), M Janes, Heapy, Elkins, Henderson (L Williams 68), M Williams.
