Under 18's through to Round Two

File (Embeded) - Lewes U18 v Histon
 
 

Lewes Under 18's made history this evening at the Dripping Pan by progressing through to the second round of the FA Youth Cup for the first time.

In a tight game against fellow BS Premier side Histon, Lewes were made to battle hard and went in all square at half time. Lewes made a number of second half chances before David Wheeler broke through and finished neatly with a shot across the goal that nestled into the far corner.

Histon pressed for the equaliser but their efforts were in vain when Fred Foreman doubled the lead in the closing stages.

Lewes now meet fellow non-league side Croydon Athletic, who they beat 3-0 in the opening league game of the season. The winners of that tie could face league opposition in round three. The provisional date for that match is Monday 17 November, ko 7.45pm.
