Paulton Rovers suffered an early blow when they lost striker Robbie Claridge following a clash of heads.

Rovers netted a second half equaliser but they conceded two late goals to go down 3-1.

North Leigh took an undeserved lead in first half stoppage time when a cross from Aaron Possey was not dealt with and Matty Taylor scored.

Rovers scored a deserved equaliser in the 73rd minute when Jamie Taylor beat the goalkeeper with a header.

North Leigh regained the lead in the 82nd minute when Karl Dodd's glancing header from a free-kick gave the goalkeeper no chance.

With Paulton pushing forward in search of an equaliser, North Leigh added a third goal to clinch victory in the 85th minute when the dangerous Matty Taylor broke from halfway to score with a solo effort.
