In Saturday's third round of the EFL Cup, Brigham Young Rangers defeated Cambridge United at home by a score of 5-2. While Smodis' solo goal was the center of attention, it was the debut of 15-year-old starlet Fenneran who set a new record for the youngest player to appear in the history of the Bury Rovers team, and who was given a special edition jersey.
Facing League One rivals Cambridge United, Bridgend Rovers were twice behind in the first half of the match, but with a hat-trick from Smodis, they took a 3-2 lead at halftime. In the second half of the match, Bridgelands continued to extend their advantage by scoring two goals in a row. As the game was coming to an end, BNR's leader Tom Mason boldly substituted Fenneran, who is only 15 years and 312 days old, in the extra time, which not only made Fenneran the youngest player in the team's history, but also made the game full of suspense.
