TABLE-topping Marden suffered a minor setback in their challenge for the Jewson Herefordshire Sunday League Premier Division crown when they were held to a 2-2 draw by visiting Vaga.

Marden fell behind to a first-half goal from Simon Gwynne but they finally drew level with a 65th minute strike from Darren Jones. Marden took the lead in the 76th minute through Derek Craddock but Danny Johns took advantage of a defensive lapse soon afterwards to rescue a point for Vaga.

Although Marden still lead the division they have to win two of their final four matches to be certain of the title.
