Mildenhall Town 3 Godmanchester Rovers 0
ROVERS joint-boss Karly Hurst said he was not unhappy with his side's performance in a tough cup fixture at Mildenhall.

The second half began quietly before Lee Boon missed a half chance to square the match but the visitors were hit by two goals before the hour mark.
