Leiston finished third in the division last season, and although their play-off failure led to an exodus of talent, there was plenty of evidence to suggest they will once again punch well about their weight for a small town of fewer than 6,000 people. The game was soon to become a scrap for supremacy, with both sides aiming to impose themselves. Leiston midfielder Ollie Saunders imposed himself painfully onto McQuilkin’s ankle, leading to a puzzling incident.
Leiston’s scorer Keller had to be substituted after sustaining an injury, but the threat remained and after Loza’s hard and low effort from a corner was blocked, midfielder Joe Marsden’s quick-fire return from the edge of the box dipped over Hall and skimmed to safety off the top of the crossbar. It was to be something of a false dawn. Leiston added a second goal in the 56th minute when a ball into the penalty area from the left wasn’t dealt with and midfielder Marsden arrived at the far post to turn the ball in from a few yards out.
