Didcot Town's disappointing Division 1 South & West campaign ended with a whimper against second bottom Bishops Cleeve in a 1-0 defeat.

Town can have no complaints, with strugglers Cleeve deserving victory in a game virtually devoid of goalmouth action.

Cleeve’s Lee Jake had a snap-shot saved by Didcot keeper Craig Griffiths, before Michael Tambling fired over for the visitors when he should have done better. Elliott Osborne-Ricketts had Didcot’s first effort, but his shot went wide.

The home side were also slightly unlucky not to get a penalty when James Nortie brought down Morgan Williams in the box, but the referee waved play-on.

The visitors continued to look the more likely after the break, with Stuart Midwinter and Jake going close.

But with six minutes left, Sam Avery rose highest at a corner to head home the winning goal and leave Didcot down in 17th place in the final table.

Didcot Tn: Griffiths, Elkins, M Williams, Wray, Carnell, Allaway (McKirnan HT), Henderson, Stanley, Osborne-Ricketts, L Williams (Noble 83), Meade (Tappin 69). Sub not used: Bernasconi.

Attendance: 111.
