The game was delayed due to traffic issues en route to the game - with the clash pushed back to a 3.15pm kick off.

Both sides showed signs of promise before Leiston took a 27th minute lead, when Spencer Keller converted from a short corner.

Montel Gibson and Ricardo Dinanga had chances just before the break but failed to convert.

And they were made to pay on the hour mark as a ball from the left was converted by Joe Marsden to double Leiston's lead.

Two minutes into added time and Dinanga won a penalty before being denied by the home keeper.

But the Bucks did net what was a consolation as Ty Webster's cross into a crowd of bodies was deflected home.
