DIDCOT Town lost in Division 1 South & West for the first time since August as AFC Totton fought back from 3-1 behind at half-time to run out 5-3 winners of an entertaining clash last night.

The result sees the Railwaymen miss out on the chance to go second in the table.

Things looked good for Didcot when Josh Baines fired home to put them in front after eight minutes.

Jack Longford’s fine effort doubled the lead, however Craig Feeney headed home for the hosts two minutes later to reduce the deficit.

Longford restored Didcot’s two-goal advantage just before half-time as the visitors went into the break 3-1 ahead.

But the hosts made a fast start and within ten minutes of the second period, made it 3-3 courtesy of Stuart Mott and Zac Mouland.

Mouland then gave the hosts the lead shortly after.

And late on Feeney sealed the victory to condemn Didcot to league defeat for the first time since August.

However, there was plenty to cheer about for Wantage Town, who recorded a 1-0 home win over Cinderford Town to give Daniel Barry his first success since taking over as manager.

Mark Janes scored the only goal of the game, heading home from a second-half free-kick as Wantage boosted their chances of avoiding the drop.
