The Lancers lost their second-round Vase tie at Cove 4-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw.
Archie McGonigle scored for Dale Hurley’s side with a second half equaliser that took the tie to spot kicks, but they could only score two of theirs and are out.
They were back in knockout action on Tuesday night at home to Hassocks in the Peter Bentley Cup but lost 2-1, Antoine Sharpe the scorer.
Lancing go to Guernsey in the SCFL Premier on Saturday.
In the Isthmian South Central division, Littlehampton Town’s hopes of moving out of the relegation zone came a cropper at Egham on Saturday.
They lost 6-0 and had Eugene Asike and Callum Kimber sent off, a setback for bosses Mitch Hand and George Gaskin who – as reported – have been backed to turn fortunes around.
The Golds host Southall on Saturday.
In Division 1 of the SCFL last Saturday, East Preston won 1-0 at home to Reigate, Worthing Utd drew 2-2 at Jarvis Brook and Shoreham lost 3-0 at home to Walcountians.
