BRIGHTLINGSEA Regent bowed out of the FA Trophy after losing 3-1 at Thamesmead Town on Sunday.

The first qualifying round tie had to be put back a day because Thamesmead groundshare with Dartford, who were in National League South action against St Albans City.

Regent took the lead through Aaron Condon (29) but Laurent Mendy (31) quickly equalised before second-half goals from Bode Anidugbe (72) and Ellis Green (90).
