AFC LUDLOW boss Dave Cooper claimed some of his players “let themselves down” in Tuesday night’s 1-0 defeat by Team Dudley in the final of the West Midlands (Regional)?League Division One Cup.

Ludlow had plenty of the ball, and a decent shout for a penalty when Jamie Smith’s shot appeared to be handled.

But they were beaten by a sucker punch goal from Dudley’s Ryan Spittle 12 minutes into the second half.
