Eastville Boys under 13s suffered their first league defeat in over two years in the North Wilts & District Youth League at the weekend.
Highworth were the team that ended the unbeaten run with a 2-1 triumph over their title rivals at Warneford School.
Highworth had the better of the opening exchanges only to be caught on the break by Etheridge who calmly slotted home the opening goal.
But Bowden equalised direct from a corner to send the two sides in level at the break.
In the second half Highworth gradually gained control of the midfield and had a goal disallowed for offside.
A draw seemed inevitable until Tom Maynard clinched victory for the visitors with just six minutes remaining, sliding the ball under the Eastville keeper from close range.
