Bedworth United Development 2-0 Sutton Coldfield Town Royals

Sutton bowed out of the League Cup at the Semi-Final stage losing a tight encounter to a young Bedworth side

Bedworth started brightly, passing the ball well but Sutton held good shape and restricted the home side to few chances and Cresswell in goal was largely untroubled

Sutton eased there way back into the game and had a strong spell in the middle of the half but suffered a setback when Whitehouse was carried off with a serious knee injury

Sutton soldiered on until half-time and the score remained goalless

Bedworth started the second-half brightly and pegged Sutton back

It became a rear-guard action and the defence was eventually breached when the team switched off at a free-kick and Bedworth tapped home on 65 minutes

It was soon 2-0 when a long strike hit the top corner

Sutton fought on and created some chances to reduce the arrears, but it wasn’t to be their day

Player-of-the-Match was Amy Thompson who was solid and reliable in the back-four
