FC Utd went down 1-0 to a determined Ashton Utd side in front of a crowd of 1069 at Hurst Cross.
The presence of FC legend Steve Torpey on the bench couldn't inspire the reds, who lacked fluency after making four changes to the side that beat Retford 5-1 on Saturday.
A well marshalled Ashton defence handled everything FC could throw at them, and the only goal of the game came just before half time on 44 minutes with a good finish from Lee Steele.
The second half saw an onslaught from FC, with Ashton looking dangerous on the break, however a combination of too many long balls and good defending saw chances kept to a minimum.
Five minutes of added time gave one last hope for the FC faithful, but even with centre half Martin Parker upfront one last chance didn't come and Ashton held on for victory.
