Abingdon Town threw away a two-goal lead as they lost 3-2 away to Wallingford in the preliminary round of the Linakar Insurance Brokers Cup.

Paul Jezzard put them in front inside three minutes when he lifted the ball over home keeper John Shea, and then midway through the half, Jezzard provided a cross to Garry Hartley, who headed home at the near post.

A fine save from Rob Hamling denied Abdouli Taha, but just before the break, Matt Bianchini (pictured) reduced the deficit, meeting a cross from the right.

Zinzee Taha's strike eight minutes after the break levelled the scores, while Hamling was again on hand with a couple of fine saves to keep the scores level.

But with 18 minutes left, Wallingford sealed victory when Andrew Styles fired home.
