But the Doughboys struck back with Matt Long levelling before Lloyd Buckby’s 72nd-minute effort proved to be the winner.
It was also a good midweek for Rothwell Corinthians, who remain unbeaten after three games, as they saw off Leicester Nirvana 3-0 at Sergeants Lawn.
And it was a particularly good evening for Dodzi Agbenu as he scored twice while Craig Maisiri was also on target as Corinthians sealed all three points.
