KENDAL Town went down 3-0 to Stamford in the FA Trophy's first round on Saturday.

Town missed the chance of an equaliser when a Michael Cole penalty was saved and he hit the rebound over the bar.

In the second half, after early chances Kendal went 2-0 down in the 65th minute Cotton had a simple finish from close range.

Town had Jimmy Williams sent off for a two-footed challenge and on 82 minutes Stamford grabbed a third goal.
