AFC fall at the first hurdle in FA Trophy

AFC Dunstable’s opening foray into the FA Trophy was ended at the first attempt on Saturday, as they were well beaten by fellow Southern League Division One Central side Uxbridge.

Manager Steve Heath yet again found his squad stretched to the limit with suspensions, injuries and departures, to the extent he didn’t have any fit players to call upon from the bench.

Having won at Uxbridge on the opening day of the season, the scoreline did flatter the hosts somewhat, as AFC went in search of a way back into the game during the second half, leaving themselves wide open at the back.
