Young Rooks beaten but unbowed

File (Embeded) - U18 team huddle v Hull
 
 

Lewes U18's tremendous run in the FA Youth Cup ended this evening in round three at the hands of Premier League Hull City.

A fantastic crowd of 529 saw the Rooks put in a proud display against the pros from Humberside, conceding a lucky goal in the seventh minute through Darragh Satelle, and a soft goal two minutes from time when Mark Cullen nicked in to score.

Lewes grew in the second half but found few clear chances against a well-organized City side. Lewes supporters were treated to a fine final ten minutes when sub Arron Hopkinson's late goal gave the Rooks some hope, but even though they chased an equalizer, it wasn't to be.
