Dunmow United Pythons U12s put on a battling display, but fell to a 2-1 Blackwater and Dengie Youth League Division One League Cup loss to Broomfield Fire.
Shaking off the New Year cobwebs, Pythons pushed hard against a team to which they had lost too easily last month.
Dunmow produced a solid defensive display.
Broomfield were strong and well organised and showed lots of skill upfront, and took the lead early on.
They threatened to pull away, but Dunmow managed to stay solid.
