AFC faced another Durham side, up against the United Reserves in the Preliminary Round of the Durham Minor Cup.
The home team created some good openings early on but it was the away team that were clinical in front of goal. They took the lead after twenty minutes when Jovan Singh set up Steven Telford for a simple tap in, before he grabbed his second and Singh made it 0-3 before half time. Telford completed his hat-trick early in the second half to easily book their place in the First Round of the Minor Cup.
