Hastings United crashed out after a thumping home defeat by Folkestone Invicta.

Hastings made a staggering ten changes to the side that won in the league on Saturday with only keeper Will Toal retaining his place.

Despite the reshuffle Hastings got off to a flying start in this first round tie with Danny Ellis scoring twice in the opening ten minutes.

Ellis grabbed his first with a cool lob over the keeper and soon after the young midfielder hit a low drive inside the near post.

Folkestone halved the deficit on 16 minutes when Drew Watkins took advantage of a mistake by Toal.

The visitors totally dominated the second half and two goals from James Dryden in the space of three minutes put them firmly in the driving seat.

Two more goals from substitute John Ayling and a John Guest header completed the rout.
