Our Under-21s' inaugural campaign in the National League Cup ended with a 3-0 defeat at Sutton United on Tuesday night.
With a much-changed team due to loans, first-team involvement and an upcoming FA Youth Cup fixture, a notably young United side showed moments of real quality in south London.
The hosts, who sit 13th in the National League, showed greater ruthlessness as they converted the majority of their chances to progress into the semi-finals.
It had been an excellent first campaign in the National League Cup for United, who held the best record in the competition with four wins and 12 goals scored in the group stages.
