TWO gift goals in three minutes in the second half killed off Kendal's Town Evo-Stik Challenge Cup bid in a 3-1 defeat Woodley Sports on Tuesday evening.
Another bad away day for Town saw them slump to a fifth defeat in a row and they have now gone out of all cup competitions.
Kendal struggled to make an impact in the first half and a Mike Clark header from a cross from the right after 42 minutes put Woodley 1-0 up at half time.
Town brought on wide men Lee Mulvaney and Carl Osman as they chased the game in the second half, but a Keiran Walmsley back-pass in the 68th minute bypassed keeper David Newnes for an own goal and shortly afterwards a Rory Winters' gaffe from a corner-kick allowed Chris Smith a free shot past David Newnes.
While Danny Rowe fired in an excellent 20-yard shot on 84 minutes, Town never looked like rescuing the tie. Lying 12th in the table and off the play-off pace, Town head for Redford on Saturday.
