HUNGERFORD TOWN’S Academy side bowed out of the FA Youth Cup to a single goal in Wednesday night’s replayed Third Qualifying Round tie at Forest Green Rovers.
Hungerford had been leading 1-0 with six minutes to go of the original tie when a serious injury to a Green player forced an abandnent.
A 30th minute goal from Joe Stokes separated the teams although Conor Lynch went close to a first half equaliser when his effort was kept out by goalkeeper Luke Marchant.
