A strong performance from Fleet Town was in vain as they lost on penalties to League 2 side Aldershot Town 4-3 exit the Hampshire Senior Cup at the semi-final stage. The Blues had fought back from a goal down and a Ty Smith penalty sent the tie into extra time. No more goals followed but two missed spot kicks meant the Blues fans in the 300+ crowd left disappointed.
Fleet lost 2-3 at Walton & Hersham and ended the game with eight players after Leigh Rumbold, Ty Smith and Luke Evans were dismissed in a fiery 2nd half. The Blues had earlier recovered from going two down through goals from Dan Read and a Ty Smith penalty but couldn't hold on to gain a point that they fully deserved.
A much changed Fleet side lost 0-3 to Leatherhead tonight to exit the Isthmian league cup at the Q-F stage. The Blues started with six changes from Tuesdays game and never recovered from a goal conceded within 5 minutes.
A Man of the Match display from wingman Darren Wheeler inspired Fleet to a comfortable 3-0 win over basement side Whitstable Town. After a slow start the Blues winger lit the touch paper and was involved in all three goals from Dan Reed, James Field and Eddie Smith as the team returned to winning form.
