SUBSTITUTE Conor Ingram struck a late winner for North Leigh against Yate Town in Division 1 South & West at Eynsham Park.
The Millers had just seen Stuart Hole’s opener cancelled out when former Oxford United forward Lewis Haldane glanced a header past Matt Bulman from close range in the 82nd minute.
Both teams then threw caution to the wind, and it was North Leigh who profited with defender Michael Hopkins firing in a hard low centre for Ingram to gleefully clip it past a helpless Horsell and seal a 2-1 victory.
Unfortunately, Ingram injured himself in the process as he collided with the keeper and post in scoring.
