FA Cup in pictures: Bognor Regis Town crash out after defeat at Hackney Wick

The Rocks’ interest in the 2025-26 FA Cup is over early after they lost 3-1 at Hackney Wick in the preliminary round.

Callum Laycock’s goal made it 1-1 at the interval after Leo Lopate had put the hosts ahead – but a second half double by Issa Sidibe sealed the Rocks’ fate.

It is a big disappointment for a club who were once known for their FA Cup pedigree but have not had a good run for many seasons.
