Biggleswade United were hoping that March heralded a vast change in fortunes than that experienced in both January and February and for the opening 20 minutes they looked like they meant business on Saturday.

Marc Holmes headed wide from a Nathan Hilaire cross while Craig Rydeheard sent a long range shot over the London Tigers bar. But facing a strong head wind, it didn't take long before visitors Kingbury were able to take full advantage and push United back into their own half of the field.

The midfield seemed to be overrun by their opposing numbers forcing even more work onto their already overstretched defence – with a plea going out via the live commentary for the recruitment of a midfield general to take the reins in the middle of the park – so if there is anyone out there?

Fortunately, the Tigers front men were having an off-day, blasting high and wide and a combination of poor finishing and resolute defending from United's Luke Jones, Ben Stocker, Adam Turner and skipper Michael Scarisbrick kept it goalless at the interval.

With the wind now behind them, Biggleswade were hoping to take advantage as Holmes again went close while and Robbie O'Dell couldn't get a firm footing to fire home when set free by Andre Maltay.

Against the run of play Tigers grabbed the lead. A difficult curling high ball from Tagmanbusi floated over United keeper Adam Lawrence to the far post where both Scarisbrick and Tigers' Zarchenko rose with Zarchenko managing to outjump the United full back and heading back to Anvari to stab the ball home.

Just one minute later and the Tigers were two up courtesy of a dubious penalty decision that saw a Tigers forward fall in the box without, it seemed, any one near him. But with United's luck running away as fast as Linford Christie it seemed inevitable that the whistle blew and the referee pointed straight to the sopt from which Tigers skipper Ellekhelifi dispatched the Tigers second.

The second goal killed off United's hopes and the final twenty minutes was a lacklustre affair with the Tigers settling for the points and United are left wondering where they can find a goal and a point in their remaining fixtures.
