It was more away day heartbreak as our hosts nicked all three points with virtually the last kick of the game writes James Barrett.
Both conceded goals came via set-pieces which weren't dealt in our area meaning Brendan Murphy-McVey's leveller midway through the second-half ended up as mere consolation.
Team news: Boss Rob Scantlebury had to work without Tommy Bradford, Ricardo Panton, Paris Hamilton-Downes, Bobby Price (all carrying injuries), Austin Gacheru (work commitment), Jarrell Gray and Dane Moore (unavailable) for this one. Academy lads Josh Greenleaf and Raphique Howell were handed first-team debuts while Shadiq Joseph was named on the bench. There was also a debut for ex-Walton Casuals midfielder Joshua Adusei who has been training with us recently.
We have the chance to earn an elusive away win as we go over to Guernsey this Saturday. Don't forget this is a 12.45pm kick-off if you are attending.
