From going 1-0 up after seventeen minutes
Town ended up with a minute of added on time left losing 2-1 to visitors Garforth Town.
And that wasn’t the only bad news when fighting relegation as they also had manager Grant Black sent off midway through the second half and then in injury time defender Sam Pashley and new co-assistant coach James Dudgeon also saw red.
Pashley and Dudgeon were livid as assistant referee Nicholas Greenwood did not raise his flag for a blatant offside in four minutes of added on time which gave the visitors the winner and three valuable points.
The visitors started the brighter of the two but the hosts struck first blood.
After Garforth keeper Harry Flatters short and low out wide, Rhys Plater steadied the ball and then fed Romario Dunne to find the target and put his side ahead.
Shortly after it needed a strong left hand from keeper Michael Acquah to deny the visitors.
In the 55th minute Town could have made the game possibly safe but a header from a corner hit the post and was cleared.
Thirteen minutes later Garforth were level when Acquah and his defence failed to deal with a ball into the six yard box and Owen Marshall tapped home.
It looked as Town were looking at draw and still a valuable point when Garforth substitute Eddie Kettlewell in an offside position easily beat Acquah from a cross out on the right .
The home players rushed across to the ‘liner’ to register their anger and as a result Pashley was sent off and then after the final whistle Dudgeon was following his manager into the referees notebook.

He has been allowed to play a level down at Golcar United to keep match
fit when their matches were on
