AFC beaten in Beds Senior Cup final

Action from Kenilworth Road as AFC Dunstable lost to Biggleswade Town

AFC threatened in the early stages as Stefan Tracey saw his fierce drive brilliantly headed off the line by Max York, but fell behind midway through the half when Lee Allinson turned smartly in the box and fired home.

It was 2-0 just before the break when Brett Donnelly netted with a downward header after Joe Reynolds’ pinpoint cross.

AFC came had their moments as second half substitute Jay Blackett saw his header whacked away before it crossed the line, again by York, before sending an acrobatic volley just off target.

Courtney Massey’s long-ranger was tipped over by Waders keeper Michael McEntagart, before Biggleswade wrapped up the win on 70 minutes as Paul Barnes slotted home, before Blackett was shown a straight red for an off the ball incident in the closing stages.
