TEN-MAN Pocklington Predators bowed out of the York Minor League Under-15s Cup after a 1-0 home defeat by Wheldrake.

Division two side Wheldrake prevented the Predators, chasing the division one title, playing their normal game and booked a place in the fourth round.

The Pocklington backline was well led by Stuart Wright and Eric Hogan, backed by Sam Flinton in goal, but Wheldrake conjured the winner midway through the second half.

Pocklington tempers flared, resulting in a sending off and the ten men were unable to drag the game back.
