RINGWOOD Town pushed title contenders VT FC all the way before falling to another defeat tonight.

Jy Taylor's side went behind early on before Dan Baguley got them back on level terms.

But a goal just before the break killed their hopes and a late penalty sealed the points for the hosts.

Taylor's men are now all but doomed to the drop, with just three league matches remaining to salvage something from their season.

Ringwood Town: Rhodes, Atkins, Pierson, Brunnen, Leadbitter, Greaves, Howes (J Taylor, 70), Gogan, Burrett, D Taylor, Baguley.
