London Lions suffered their first defeat of the season as they bowed out of the Aubrey Cup with a 2-1 defeat against Lemsford.

Lying third and unbeaten in five matches in the Herts Senior County League Premier Division, the Lions, who were missing six regulars, were left to reflect on two woeful defensive errors.

Tony Gold's men fell behind inside two minutes but second half substitute Dominic Cheniart levelled things eight minutes after coming on.

Adam Myeroff and substitute Daniel Green spurned good openings as the Lions failed to take the tie into extra time.
