Colts were on the wrong end of an eight-goal thriller in Scunthorpe.
A Jamie Castelow hat trick helped Bruces Beacon on their way to victory over Crowle with Byron Waudby slamming home a brace for the home side.
Colts recorded three in response via Calum Breads, Dan Smyth and Dan Barrowcliffe but it was not enough as Beacon ran out comfortable winners on Saturday.
Division Two strugglers Crowle have the opportunity to kickstart their 2014-15 campaign on Saturday as they prepare to welcome neighbours Scunthonians to the Isle in the Johnstone Insurance Nursing Cup.
Meanwhile, it’s also cup action for Westwoodside Rangers on Saturday as they return to the field this weekend following a break to face Crowle’s recent opponents Bruces Beacon.
Kev Blow’s Rangers will be aiming to build on their emphatic 15-3 cup victory over Santon on October 4.
