In the F.A. Carlsberg Sunday Cup 4th Round Hetton Lyons Cricket Club Travelled to Nottingham to take on the Scots Greys. The holders, Hetton Lyons, crashed out of the national trophy at Nottingham, they failed to produce the kind of form that brought them to Anfield last year, the Lyons failed to score for the first time this season and a poor performance from a strong side saw their dream of a return to merseyside slip away, the only goal of the game came early in the first half and Hetton never recovered from it or the slow start, A Johnston free kick in the first half and a Craig Ruddy shot in the second was the closest Hetton came to equalising, Finch pulled off two or three saves to keep Hetton in the game but they remained frustrated and resigned to a long trip home with no reward, Lyons Secretary David Leitch said " we didnt perform at the level we know we could and now were out, i have to take some of the blame as the preperation wasnt right with some of the players, we have to pick ourselves up for next week"  Lyons next task is County Cup tie away at a rejuvinated Houghton Glendale
