BarneyRubble - Exactly the same thing happened in 2005/2006 when Oxhey Jets met Haringey Borough, on that infamous occasion the match was abandoned on 88 minutes with Haringey leading 5-3.

Did they have to replay the match Rhodes or did the result stand?

AWK - The match was replayed at the end of the season and Haringey unsurprisingly lost it which you have to admit was unfair as they were leading 5-3 in the original game and Oxhey were to blame for it being abandoned. Fortunately Haringey weren't relegated that season despite finishing second to bottom as Brache Sparta's ground didn't meet Premier Division criteria so only Harpenden Town went down.

That does sound very harsh Rhodes, 2 goals up with just two minutes to play. Who did the SSML attribute the blame to, as you would have thought that if it was Oxhey Jets then the result would have stood as an away win.

why was it abandoned?

Rak played in the game although he tends to sit on the fence but basically World War III broke out and the Referee had no option but to abandon the game however as AWK says it was very harsh on Haringey who were the innocent party and lead 5-3 with two minutes left.
