Abingdon Tn 0

Hook Norton 3 (Szczukiewicz 15, Standen 21, Jackson 31)

Abingdon Town manager Keith Stopps was ordered from his area and saw two of his players red-carded on Saturday as they plunged deeper into trouble in the Premier Division.

The home side were already 3-0 down to Hook Norton in the second half, when Colin Ryan was sent off after being shown a second yellow card by referee Adrian Cripps.

Then substitute Tony Njogu was ordered off for violent conduct.

To make matters worse, Stopps was dismissed from the designated area for his behaviour.

Abingdon must win at least two of their last three games to have a chance of avoiding finishing in the relegation zone.

Hook Norton stretched their unbeaten run to eight matches with three goals in the first 31 minutes.

They opened the scoring when Daniel Szczukiewicz finished with a lob from just inside the penalty area.

Then Carl Standen went on a mazy run, leaving a number of Abingdon defenders in his wake, before flicking the ball over the home keeper to make it 2-0.

Skipper Chris Jackson completed the scoring with a far-post header from Steve Crognale's left-sided corner.

The second half produced red cards, but no goals.

North Leigh 2 (Dennis 63, McCabe 67)

Lydney 1 (Timmins 45)

North Leigh came from behind to win their penultimate Premier Division match on Saturday and take the title race down to the wire.

The Yellows now travel to Wallingford on Thursday hoping that rivals Almondsbury will slip-up at either Hook Norton or Abingdon Town to keep their title hopes alive.

Boosted by their thrilling midweek Oxfordshire Senior Cup victory, North Leigh seized the initiative early on and only the crossbar stopped Paul Cooper netting with a header from Simon Futcher's inswinging free kick.

Another Futcher set-piece saw Andrew Helby's effort well saved by Lydney keeper Richard Thomas, while James Mortimer- Jones's low shot struck a post.

The visitors took a surprise lead in the final minute of the first half when Rob Bennett lobbed a through ball into the Leigh area for Matt Timmins to drill low under Tom Bennington.

North Leigh equalised in the 63rd minute when Andy McCabe's cross was squared across the six-yard box by Helby for substitute Mark Dennis to fire home.

Just four minutes later, they scored the winner when a superb run-and-cross from Chris Allen saw Jamie Jackson's header bounce back off the bar, but McCabe was on hand to lash home the rebound.

Kidlington 0

Wantage Tn 1 (Austin 57)

Wantage's strong defence set up their narrow victory in a low-key match against a below-par Kidlington team.

The only goal came when Tom Austin beat the offside trap attempted by the high-line Kidlington defence.

He ran on to Danny Allen's through-ball and neatly lobbed Matt Hutton in the Kidlington goal Kidlington put Wantage under pressure, abandoning flowing football in favour of punting high balls into the area.

They were aiming to capitalise on substitute Jimmy Deabill's sizeable presence.

Wantage always looked threatening on the break, substitutes Danny Keen and Liam McCullough both having chances to seal the game.

Apart from Hutton in goal, all the Kidlington players seemed to be going through the motions.

Milton 0

Hungerford Tn 1 (Concannon 17)

Milton's suffered their second defeat in a week against high- riding Hungerford.

The only goal came on 17 minutes when former Didcot Town forward Ian Concannon lobbed home keeper Craig Griffiths.
