FA YOUTH CUP

Not a good competition week for our clubs as all but 1 fell at the second hurdle. Loughborough Dynamo were the only side to progress as they had a comfortable 6-2 victory over New Mills with Bill Snaith (3), Dan Tuck, Morgan Schuler and Kieran Riddell getting on the score sheet. Ashby Ivanhoe were defeated 6-1 by Alfreton Town with Dion Robinson getting the consolation goal. Leicester Nirvana travelled to face Boston United and by all accounts were the better side, but left with a 1-0 defeat and St Andrews suffered a 5-0 home defeat at the hands of Bottesford Town.
Leicester Road, the other County side in the competition suffered a 2-1 away defeat at Kimberley Miners Welfare.
Loughborough Dynamo now face a trip to take on Boston United.
