The Mens Vets were unlucky not to trouble the scorers in their second round match in the EH Trophy on Sunday.

Debutants Dave Hunt and Chris London were impressive in their first outing for the club, with the latter hammering a strike on the outside of the top corner at the end of the first half. That was as good as it got for the Southerners as Sudbury built on their interval lead of two-nil.

Brave and noteworthy performances from John Gourd in goal and Jason James at the back were unable to turn the tide as the match ended five-nil to the visitors.
