RINGWOOD'S fight to climb away from the relegation zone took a nosedive when they conceded a late winner against Horndean.
Mike Carroll had given Ringwood a first-minute lead with a brilliant volley only for Paul Baker to equaliser after the break with a penalty.
Carroll fired Ringwood in front again on the hour with a penalty awarded for handball.
But Adam Rutland was left unmarked at the far post to level again for Horndean in the 79th minute.
Graham Lindsey took advantage of a poor throw out by Ringwood goalkeeper Dean Lewis that went straight to him to grab Horndean's winner and get them out of jail.
Ringwood manager Bob Lane said: "To lose after leading 2-1 with 11 minutes to go is very disappointing."
Ringwood: Lewis, Godwin, Brunnen, Wright, Russon, Finlay, Gogan (Howes 75), Sajic (Dronyk 60), Greaves (Burrett 80), Carroll, Foster.
