Dream dashed: RAF Corporal sees Wolves side knocked out of FA Cup

An RAF Corporal's hopes of a place in the sixth round of the FA Cup have been demolished after his Wolves side lost 4-1 to Super League side Brighton & Hove Albion.

A scrappy game saw Wolves right in the battle for 88 minutes but a late hat-trick from Emma Kullberg decided the result for Brighton.

Earlier in the game, Beth Merrick had equalised for third division Wolves from the penalty spot and they held on to a 1-1 score until the 88th minute.

This was the first time Wolves have competed in the fifth round for 20 years but a step into uncharted waters of the sixth round was too far for Corporal Dan McNamara and his team.

They now turn their attention to a County Cup final against fierce rivals West Bromwich Albion next week.
