Moulton Harrox were knocked out of the PFA Senior Cup by ChromaSport PDFL Premier Division rivals Peterborough Polonia on Saturday.
Finalists last season, Harrox were held to a 2-2 draw by their hosts after extra time – but lost the penalty shoot-out 4-3.
Two goals from defender Ashley Coddington weren’t enough for Kev Nottingham’s side, who also had substitute Luke Gardner sent off.
The defeat is the first of the season in any competition for Moulton, who have won all four of their Premier Division games and sit top of the table.
They will hope to gain a measure of revenge when Polonia visit Broad Lane on Saturday for a league clash (2pm).
Also exiting the PFA Senior Cup were Holbeach United Reserves, who came unstuck at home.
They were defeated by top tier rivals Thorney, who claimed a 3-0 victory at Carter’s Park.
