North Leigh’s Evo-Stik Southern League Division 1 South & West play-off bid hangs by a thread after a 2-1 defeat at Bishops Cleeve.
They must now win their last two games and hope that Hungerford lose their remaining fixtures to make the top-five.
Missing the suspended Elliott Osborne-Ricketts, the Millers went behind when Lee Smith hit an unstoppable shot into the far corner of the net.
Morgan Williams twice went close before the visitors levelled when Brian Bowles’s cross was fired past James Nortei by Ben Reardon.
Reardon then cleared off the line at the other end.
The hosts retook the lead when Carl Brown fired home and although the Millers pushed for a winner, theywere let down by poor finishing and good defending.
North Leigh: Warrell, Hole, Organ (Mills 73), Clark, Franklin, Caton, Reardon, Bowles (Parrish 83), Williams, Sanders, Hopkins. Subs not used: Merriman, Gee, Burnell Attendance: 61.
