ACCRINGTON Stanley's plucky youngsters bowed out of the FA Youth Cup with a 3-0 defeat away at Reading in the fifth round. Stanley had never previously been beyond the third round of the competition and had beaten West Ham and Bristol City on their march to the last 16. But the trip to Reading was a step too far for Keith Brown's men who conceded on the stroke of half time before the home side made the game safe with two second half goals at the Madejski Stadium.
