NORTH Leigh suffered disappoint- ment as they lost 3-2 at Wimborne Town in the Evo-Stik Southern League on Saturday, after twice taking the lead.
After Eric Odhiambo had a shot cleared off the line, the Millers went ahead in the 38th minute of the Division 1 South & West game when George Seacole headed home from Bradley Gray’s corner.
After Stuart Hole and Aaron Woodley went close to doubling the lead, Wimborne substitute Luke Holmes levelled after a slip by Jon Steedman.
Gray restored North Leigh’s lead in the 72nd minute with a stunning 20-yard drive.
Two minutes later, Wimborne’s Toby Holmes was brought down by the Millers’ debutant keeper Manny Agboola – on loan from Oxford United – and Holmes made it 2-2 from the penalty spot.
Sam Lanahan scored the hosts’ winner in the 79th minute.
Then Odhiambo and Wimborne substitute Dan Cann were both sent off for a push and shove exchange.
