Bideford 4 (Andrews 30, Wood 52, Dowling 67, Squire 72)
Abingdon Utd 2 (Hockley og 70, Lewis 89)
Abingdon made the five-hour trip back from North Devon wondering what might have been after losing their Division 1 South & West clash.
The visitors were trailing to a 12-yard goal from Matt Andrews at half-time.
Just after the break, Abingdon lost defender Kevin Halliday, who was given a yellow card for disputing a decision and then a second yellow for dissent.
Before Abingdon could regroup, the home team scored two goals quickly via Ben Wood and Sean Downing.
The ten-man visitors pulled one back after Yashwa Romeo pulled the ball back to Aaron Parfitt, whose shot deflected in off Matthew Hockley for an own goal.
Abingdon were then caught on the break, Kevin Squire making it 4-1.
Abingdon were rewarded with a second goal when Graham Lewis cut in and fired home from 18 yards
Abingdon Utd: Foster, McCready, Allaway, (Wimble 45), Carnel, Halliday, Orgad, Austin, Melledew, Lewis, Griffin (Romeo 60), Parfitt.
