YAXLEY must be sick of the sight of these visitors.

The Cuckoos went down to an agonising first league defeat of the season as St Ives left Leading Drove with maximum points for the fourth successive campaign.

St Ives hit the front just before the interval but a rare goal from central defender Matt Parrott had Yaxley back on terms on the hour mark.

And that is the way it stayed until the second minute of injury time when the Saints pounced for the points.

Yaxley assistant boss Hamish Curtis, standing in for the on-holiday Gary Clipston, said: "We had some key players missing in Liam Harrold, Dan Jacobs and Ricky Hailstone and conceding so late was gutting.

"The first strike was also really disappointing and we've got to stop conceding easy goals."

Yaxley: Feetham, Holland, Rimmell, Parrott, Gospel (Lenton), Lodge, Barrick, Sparks, Phillips, Kanasi (Salerno), Palmer (Drane).

Division One

DAVENTRY UTD 2 HUNTINGDON 0

HUNTINGDON'S wait for a first victory goes on.

Town have only collected one point from their opening four Division One games and have plummeted to second bottom in the table as a result.

Boss Darren Young admitted: "Things are just not working for us at the moment and it didn't help that four lads let me down on the morning of the game. But it will come."

Nicky Young, Simon Isaac, Ricky Marheineke and Lee Garvie were among the men to miss chances.

Huntingdon: Mackney, Wareing, Duroe, Meston, Owen (Goult), Furness, Marheineke, Garvie, Chapman, Young, Isaac.

League Cup First Round

HOLBEACH 4 BUGBROOKE 1

AN explosion of second-half goals eased Holbeach into round two.

Division One visitors Bugbrooke held out until the Tigers' Premier Division class told after the interval.

Matt Warfield, Tommy Treacher, Stacey Cartwright and Jonny Allen found the net before Bugbrooke grabbed a late consolation.

"We knew we couldn't take it for granted and Bugbrooke worked really hard," said Holbeach boss Shaun Keeble. "But I always felt it was a case of when we would score rather than if."

Striker Lee Orrey made his Holbeach return while defender Danny Hussey came on for a debut after moving from Deeping.

Holbeach: Doughty, Thompson, Elston, Patterson (Hussey), Jackson, Allen, Nicholls (Orrey), Warfield, Cartwright, Joof, Treacher (Piper).

OLNEY 1 BLACKSTONES 2

ELTON Holmes fired a late winner as Stones avoided slipping on a potential League Cup banana skin.

Holmes struck after 77 minutes to give Dave Bird's side a hard-fought success at their lower-level hosts.

"We made it a hell of a lot harder than it needed to be," admitted Bird.
