2s slip to first defeat of season

Leighton came in to this on a high. 2 wins from 2. Leighton started the game very well with numerous short corners and Tim Bellamy going close with a cracking strike just past the keeper's left hand post. Leighton then carried on the break past the defence with Dan Wright and Tom Hanley going close but only to be denied by the BA goalkeeper.

With BA’s only real meaningful attack on the leighton defence keeper Jim Galloway was quickly out only to be injured in the process by the BA centre forward. Any other attack in the first half was dealt with comfortably by MOM Liam Wavish and his centre back partner Will Riley.

Second half started the same way as the first. Leighton causing all sorts of problems down the BA left. This time with Dave Jackson and Laurence Leech going close. Then the tables turned. Nothing seemed to click for Buzzards and BA pressed. With one crash from the right wing. With a very lucky deflection beat Galloway at his near post. 1-0. And this is how it finished. With Leighton’s 100% record gone.
