Hanworth Villa conceded in second half stoppage time against Marlow FC.  to condemn them to their second straight 2-1 loss.

Marlow took a sixth minute lead when Curtis Ujah found the back of the net and went in at the break ahead despite the Villains having made a lot of the running. 

Sam Merson got the Villains back on level terms on 65 minutes as he diverted in a cross and that seemed to be good for a well-deserved point as Hanworth got to the end of the original 90 minutes level. 

Hanworth then had the chance to win the game with a 90th minute penalty but Aaron Watkins made a dramatic save to deny them before Louis Rogers went up the other end and snatched a win for the away side. 

Even after that goal Hanworth had a chance to get a dramatic draw, but they hit the crossbar and were unable to turn a creditable point into a tangible result. 

That loss means the Villians are sat in 14th in the Isthmian League South Central, although they have played less games than the teams around them, whilst Marlow move up to second in the table.
