A tough 4-1 defeat against top of the table Bardon Hill. An under strength Town went down to 2 penalties, disputed goal and scored the best goal of the game.
An even start to the game suggested Ellistown could spring a shock and walk away with the 3 points.
The suggestion lasted 10 mins as Kerr Horn opened the scoring for Bardon from the penalty spot.
