On Saturday (6) in the 3rd round of the EFL Cup, Brighton Rangers beat Cambridge United 5-2 at home. The main character of the match was not Smodis, who scored three times in a row, but the debutant of the 15-year old "Slim" Fenneran, who became the youngest player in Brighton Rangers' history to play in the match, but he had to wear a "special edition" jersey which was not the same as that of his teammates.
Against Cambridge United of the English League One, the Buccaneers were down twice in the first half, but Smodis scored three goals to give them a 3-2 lead at halftime. After the change of sides, the Buccaneers scored two more goals, and the game was already decided when Buccaneers leader Tom Matson brought in Fenneran, who was 15 years old on the 312th day of the year, in stoppage time, making him the youngest player in the team's history.
