LITTLETON'S top 10 bid in Midland Football League Division One has been hit by three defeats in a row.

The latest were a 2-0 home defeat by Heath Hayes on Saturday and a 3-1 loss at high-flying Leicester Road last night.

Lewis Clarke was on target in midweek for busy Littleton who host Hinckley AFC on Thursday (7.45pm), visit Bolehall Swifts on Saturday (3pm), entertain Racing Club Warwick on Monday (3pm) and then welcome Studley on Wednesday (7.45pm).

Their mid-season slump continued with the Hayes setback which was their fourth game in eight days.

Littleton are failing to turn pressure into goals and dominated on Saturday for long periods.

The pacy hosts went close when Robbie Bunn's free-kick was pushed onto the bar but a defensive mistake gifted Hayes the opener.

A free-kick extended the visitors' advantage and hard-working Littleton just need a win on the board.
