Hyde United 2 Warrington Town 0

YELLOWS’ FA Cup adventure came to an end as they fell to defeat at Evo-Stik First Division North high-flyers Hyde in their second qualifying round replay.

Paul Carden’s side trailed at half time through Karl Jones’ strike at Ewen Fields before Jay McCarten's own goal doubled the advantage just after the break.

Yellows made a promising start, with Ruben Jerome glancing a header wide despite being found unmarked by Sean Williams’ cross.

Hyde slowly imposed themselves on the game and forced Tony McMillan into a save as he pushed away a free kick from Tigers skipper Paddy Miller.

Jerome and Connor Hughes both had shots blocked by a resolute Hyde defence, before Matt Beadle volleyed miles wide at the other end after being found by Chris Sutherland’s cross.

The hosts hit the front five minutes before the break when Jones, who scored a last-minute equaliser to force a replay in the original tie, was allowed to bundle through several tackles before curling a shot beyond McMillan.

If Carden was banking on his side starting the second half on the front foot, he was sadly mistaken.

Hyde swarmed all over Yellows and, after Chris Sutherland was given far too much time to cross, McCarten turned the ball into his own net under pressure from Tom Pratt.

Town struggled to create chances, with Hughes having the best of them when a free kick fell kindly for him but home keeper Peter Crook quickly snuffed out his shot.

Pratt came close after Beadle laid the ball off to him, but McMillan produced a good stop to his right.

McCarten had perhaps Yellows’ best chance when substitute Joe Mwasile found him with alofted cross, but he could only loop his header onto the top of the net.

Yellows had plenty of possession late on, but they could not force Crook into a save of significance as the Tigers saw the game out.

Indeed, it was Hyde who came closest to another goal when Pratt’s goal-bound effort was blocked on the line by McCarten.

Warrington Town: McMillan, Beeley (Mwasile), McKeown, Barnes, McCarten, Goulding, Sanogo (Hine), Williams (Richards), Jerome, Kinsella, Hughes. Subs not used: Baker, Adam Carden, Davis.
