Slazenger Thirds were well-beaten by Yorkshire League 6 hosts Bradford University Seconds, 5-1.
The quicker, more skilful students raced into a 3-0 half-time lead that could have been more but for the determined efforst of goalkeeper Jonny Walker.
Simon Miller pegged a goal back in the second half, but Bradford ran out comfortable winners.
The thirds entertain Huddersfield fourths on Saturday, push back 12 noon.
