Aaron McKenna opened the scoring with a lob over their goalkeeper from 18 yards after nine minutes and Joe Gallagher, struck a superb 20-yard free-kick that flew over the wall and ended up in the top left-hand corner of the net after 63 minutes.

Somersham scored from the penalty spot eight minutes later after a foul by Simon Oakley to set up a nail-biting finish but the home side held out with Hyde making the necessary saves.

Chatteris Town suffered a second successive defeat when they were knocked out of the cup when losing 2-1 at RHS United.

Once again it was a game that the Lilies dominated for long periods producing some good football but at the moment they just cannot score the goals to round it off.

The home side took the lead midway through the first half from a 35-yard free kick which flashed into the net. Then 10 minutes into the second half RHS broke away to score a second.

Chatteris continued to play the better football and with 20 minutes to go Jay Hennessey came off the bench to make it 2-1 but in the end it was not enough.

Manager Steve Saunders commented: "It was disappointing but it was not a bad performance. we dominated most of the game but we just cannot put away the chances. It is worrying but at least we are making the openings."

Manager Paul Brenchley put him on five minutes into the second and he hit both goals in the 70th and 81st minutes to wrap up the tie.
