Rams and Leighton both score late to share the points

Team morale was high when the referee blew his whistle to get the game underway and Leighton started the game brightly. By putting pressure on Beaconsfield defence Leighton were starting to take the upper hand.

6 minutes in Mark Bunker did well to get past his opponent and get a good cross in, only for the keeper to attempt to claim it, however he dropped the ball and with no one to follow it up it was a wasted chance for Leighton.

Beaconsfield came close to scoring against the run of play in the 10th minute when Aaron Berry curled the ball just past the post.

Leighton's Billy Lobjoit felt he deserved a penalty in the 22nd minute when he was taken down harshly in the box, but the referee didn't bat an eyelid and play continued.

The first corner of the game was awarded to Leighton more than half way through the second half but Phil Draycott's kick was easily punched away by Sam Bunting.

Romaine Walker played a good play through to Kofi Lockhart-Adams in the 34th minute, with only Bunker chasing him he managed to keep his cool and slot the ball calmly past Dan Green, putting Beaconsfield 1-0 up.

Leighton made two substitutions at half time brining off Paul and Michael Lyon for Tyrone Taylor and Ash Farmer.

A goal from the whistle saw Leighton draw level with Beaconsfield. Draycott crossed the ball to find the head of Billy Lobjoit who headed it home.

The 54th minute saw a goal mouth scramble for Leighton with Taylor's shot blocked by the legs of Beaconsfield's defence and the ball bounces off the post to deny Leighton the lead.

A great push over the bar by Green in the 69th minute stopped Lockhart-Adams from earning his brace of the game and only moments later Green denied Jordan Ajanlekoko of a goal, pushing the ball away for a corner.

Gary Ridgway was shown a yellow card in the 76th minute. Leighton's final substitution saw an injured Robbie Goodman replaced with Chris Crook.

Leighton managed to take the lead in the 85th minute when a pinpoint cross from Taylor found Danny Watson and he lobed the ball over the keeper into the net.

The joy of the goal was short lived however when minutes later Green took down Elliot Carey in the box. Lockhart-Adams stepped up to the penalty spot and played the ball past the fingertips of Green into the net.

A last ditch attempt to score by Draycott in injury time was stopped by Tom Gant, making it 2-2 at the end of the game.

Leighton's next game is away to Hanwell Town on Saturday 17th January, kick off 3pm.
