Wantage Town lost their first game under new manager Daniel Barry, but felt aggrieved not to have been awarded a penalty and to have George Reid sent off in the 3-0 defeat at Yate Town in Evo-Stik Southern League Division 1 South & West.

Yate took the lead on half-time when Dale Evans’s corner was headed home by Joe Chandler.

Wantage felt they should have drawn level just after the hour, when Reid went down in the box, but the referee ruled it a dive and booked the Wantage youngster.

Minutes later, Reid mistimed a tackle and was sent off for a second yellow.

This turned the game for the hosts, who sealed the result with late goals from Bradley Abraham and Jordan Rogers.
