A depleted Peterborough United squad bowed out of the FA Youth Cup at the second round stage in Stevenage last night (November 21).

Posh were withut first-team squad members Rickey-Jade Jones and Harrison Burrows whil star forward Flynn Clarke was injured and the home side took advantage to win 3-1 after extra time.

Posh had forced extra time thanks to a last-gasp equaliser from Shaun Ruzvidzo, but Stevenage scored once in each half of the extra 30 minutes to go through to a plum third round tie against Aston Villa.
