Hatters cruise past Kempston in FA Youth Cup

Town’s youngsters progressed through the first qualifying round of the FA Youth Cup on Tuesday night with a comfortable 4-0 victory at AFC Kempston.

All four goals came in the first half with doubles from Arel Amu and Jemale McKenzie-Lowe wrapping up the win.

Victory saw Luton Town progress to the next round where they will entertain Peterborough Northern Star or Cogenhoe United in two weeks’ time.

Despite having all of the play throughout the game and particularly in the second half, a mixture of excellent keeping by the home stopper, resolute defending and some poor finishing meant Town could not add to their tally after the break.

U18s boss Paul Driver said: “I am happy on one hand because it is a win away from home and we are safely through to the next round with no injuries incurred.

“Having said that, we were far from our best on the night in front of goal and we have to convert more than four of 35 chances we created.”

Hatters: Carpenter, Stanley, Jibodu (C), Rees (Cobb 74), Longden, Chabata, Davis (Ngwala), Smith, McKenzie-Lowe, Banton (Haag 61), Amu.

Substitutes not used: Barnes, Galliford.
