Division side St Neots.
Adam Boothby did give the home side the lead in the first half when he headed home, but his side will have been disappointed not to have scored more goals before the interval.
Glenn Westbury and Boothby were denied by fine saves from the Fletton goalkeeper while Sammy Argyle missed an excellent opportunity to score, blazing an effort wide from close range.
Instead, it was Fletton who found the target to go in level at the break and two quick goals after the restart left Eaton with a lot to do.
Ben Argyle reduced the deficit with 15 minutes to play but the home side's heads dropped and they couldn't find their way through in a match in which neither side played to anything like their full potential.
