Only goal difference is keeping Highworth top of the Premier Division after a disappointing 0-0 draw at Tuffley Rovers.
Manager John Fisher described it as 'one of those days' as his team battered the hosts in the second half but to no avail.
Both sides had a man sent off within the first 10 minutes, with Jamie Mills unfortunate to walk for his part in a seemingly one-sided brawl.
The first half was particularly scrappy, but Highworth turned the screw after the break with Justin Miller twice going close, Ross Adams missing from point blank range and Matty Saye striking a post.
But resilient Tuffley held out, allowing Bishops Cleeve to join Highworth at the summit with two games in hand on Fisher's troops.
"First half we weren't very good," said the HIghworth chief.
"The sending off of Jamie was a terrible decision. Their lad punched him in the face five times and Jamie just held his hands up to protect himself.
"Eleven men against 10 could have made all the difference.
"Second half we've had five really good chances and we haven't taken them.
"It was one of those days but I'm not too worried.
"I'd be more concerned if we weren't creating chances."
Ian Concannon struck a second-half hat-trick for Didcot as the Oxfordshire side saw off Wootton Bassett Town 5-0.
The scoreline flattered the visitors as Bassett put up a fight throughout but the difference in class eventually told on 41 minutes when Andy Parrot fired Didcot into the lead with a first-time volley from a Paul Powell cross.
Ex-Swindon Town winger Joey Beauchamp set up the second goal as Ian Gill spilt his corner and Concannon easily put away the rebound from eight yards.
Stuart Beavon grabbed the third 20 minutes from time, coolly placing the ball past Gill from 15 yards.
Concannon added two easy headers towards the end to complete the rout as Bassett were sunk by superior opposition.
Fairford were shockingly sunk 4-1 by lowly Henley, Lee Stoddart's goal proving scant consolation for the men from Cinder Lane.
Stoddart will soon be joined up front by Dave Toomey, who has completed his move from Swindon Supermarine.
