It could have so different for the leaders Bar OC who had the first chance after eight minutes when striker Luke Enderby turned swiftly on Mikey O'Donnell's cross, his left footed drive from 15 yards was brilliantly turned away by Aaron Ward.
The resulting corner saw Luke Rudman head against the post and the resulting ball back in saw Enderby score his first league goal from two yards.
Bar OC went two up on 25 minutes when Rudman latched onto Darren Brown's through ball to slide home from 15 yards. Calne pulled one back ten minutes later when sloppy defending saw Ryan Kelleher free with the goal at his mercy, his clinical finish from ten yards left John Hampshire helpless. Straight away the visitors should have extended their lead.
