Town’s U18s exited the FA Youth Cup at the third round stage following a 3-2 defeat to AFC Bournemouth at Eastleigh’s Silverlake Stadium this evening.

Having gone behind to Charlie Stevens’s goal in the 21st minute, skipper Luke Towler (pictured) levelled five minutes before half-time rebounding after Jamie Mauge had hit the post.

However, the Cherries went back in front in first-half injury time through Jonny Day, then on 55 Josh Salmon made it 3-1.

Town pulled a goal back through sub Will Unadike two minutes later but were unable to find an equaliser with the game ending 3-2, just as last month’s PDL2 South game between the sides at Playford Road finished.

The Blues have now been beaten at men’s first team and U18s level by Bournemouth this week with the clubs’ women’s sides meeting in a rearranged Adobe Women’s FA Cup third round tie at the Martello Ground, Felixstowe on Sunday.

U18s: Bentley, Elliot, Brouwers (Sains 75), Heard, Chenery (Frith 61), Iorpenda (Eze 94), Boswell (Unadike), Towler (c), Mauge, Compton, McCann. Unused: Fleischer.

NITFC added 12:42 - Dec 12 Linkboy agreed. As much as big money signings are exciting it would be great to see a few of our own coming through with a realistic shot at a first team place.

backwaywhen added 13:35 - Dec 12 Watched 2nd half thanks to an X link , enjoyed the football on show we looked as if we can play a bit , how our no9 missed that open goal to make it 3-3 I will never know , on a plate goalkeeper nowhere and he missed ……unbelievable Jeff . Ps if our right back could take players on we would have probably won , constantly receiving the ball then stopping dead to pass sideways or back .
