The U16s also suffered cup disappointment as Craig Alcock's squad travelled down to the south coast on Saturday morning to take on AFC Bournemouth in a knockout qualifier for the Premier League National tournament.

A 2-2 finish after extra-time meant penalties were needed, as the Cherries progressed in the shootout, winning 4-3.

Hatters: Booth, O'Brien, Roberts-Edema, Chigozie, Routh, Benagr, Gregory, Fox, Deurell-Benito, Hincapie-Alfonso, Anning.

Subs: Dean, Angol, Kirby, Clark, Ed-Okuongbowa, Trialist.

Both the Hatters' U18s and U16s travel to Sutton United this weekend.
