Basford United 3 Linby CW FC 0

Finalists 2 years ago, Linby bowed out of the League Cup in the first round for the secong year running. Linby produced a timid performance and were soundly beaten with 2 first half goals for Kevin Walker and a second half strike from Tobias Richardson.

In reply Linby did create a few decent chances, which they failed to convert. On the other hand Craig Lear was the busier of the keepers, making several good saves to keep the score down.
