Witham Town missed the chance to go top of Ryman League division one north as their eight-game winning run was ended at Needham Market.
Sam Newson's second minute goal proved enough for Needham Market to claim all three points.
The defeat kept Witham second in the table behind leaders VCD Athletic, who they travel to face on Saturday.
Witham are still two points behind VCD but but have two games in hand on them.
