Town were dumped out of the Beds Senior Cup last Tuesday by a very well organised efficient Bedford Town team who capitalised on some poor defending.
Leighton were missing three of their most experienced back four for this game and were out played early on by a Bedford side who attacked straight from the start.
Bedford scored 4 goals before the break and Town really had no answer to their controlled play. Leighton were much better in the second half and showed good fighting spirit.
Manager Mark Eaton hopes to have a full squad available for Saturday's home League game against Northwood.
