But it's misery at home for Waders and Langford on Saturday
Lowly Arlesey Town turned the tables on tenth-placed Midlands Division Aylesbury United yesterday with a deserved 2-0 Southern League win at the Chateau Roux Stadium in front of 162 chilly spectators.

The Blues were forced to defend for long periods of the opening half but finally got their noses in front five minutes into the second half when Jamie Osborne latched onto Matthew Clark's through ball to slot past Timbos Vincent in the Ducks goal.

And seven minutes later Matt Kimani's angled strike from just inside the area appeared to take a deflection into the net with Aylesbury's Danny Mead crashing the ground. He later collapsed again and was substituted after suffering what appeared to be concusion.

There were two shocks in the Premier Division of the Spartan South Midlands League. Second in the table Langford crashed 4-0 at home to Broxbourne Borough – and the visitors might have had a fifth as they saw a penalty kick clatter against the Reds crossbar while Oxhey's Wade bagged all four!

And just up the road at the Carlsberg Stadium, third placed Biggleswade Town lost by the same 4-0 scoreline as they hosted Tring Athletic, the two defeats giving leaders Harefield United plenty of breathing space as they won 1-0 away to Hertford Town.

For the record the Tring marksmen were Burfoot, Gray, Mullins and Whicker.

However following their recent run of awful weekend results, it was better luck for Biggleswade United who came away from Oxhey Jets with the three points after they beat their hosts by the odd goal in seven. Nathan Hilaire (two), Luke Lincoln and Sean Murray were the United goalscorers while Oxhey's came courtesy of Bull, O'Mara and an own goal.

Arlesey Athletic didn't have a game in SSML Division One but visit Cranfield United on Tuesday in the first round of the Hinchingbrooke Cup.

In the United Counties League yesterday, Stotfold produced the comeback of the day at Kingsthorpe Mill where they beat hosts Northampton Spencer 3-2.

After a goalless first half, Danny Surridge gave the Millers a 46th minute lead and Adam Hancock added a second eight minutes later.

But Kane Dougherty reduced the arrears for the visitors in the 59th minute while Nathan Moulton equalised with 20 minutes remaining.

And the fighback was completed four minutes from time when Ryan Aldrin snatched the winner for the Rokermen.

And finally to the UCL Premier Division's basement side Potton United who went down 2-0 at Long Buckby whose goals came from Jon Crockett after 27 minutes and a second half Ben Foster penalty kick.
