Nicol Magpies recorded an excellent win over Gunners Watch. The difference between the two teams was Magpies finished a higher percentage of their chances whilst at the opposite end their remarkable record of conceding only minimal goals per game continued. The game leaves Gunners still in the driving seat 4 points ahead, Magpies has played 1 game less, and the teams have played each other twice. 7-2
In the cup Heta had Shamrock Rovers (old Springway Eagles) 4-1 until a late Shamrock rally abetted by Heta defensive fragility led to a dramatic end. Shamrock 5-4
Silver Star had Grimsby Catalonia cling on, but cling on they did. 7-6
Harvest 4 Grimsby All Blacks 1 was not a major shock as Harvest has over run opponents in the Tuesday league.
AFC Snook traveled to Second Avenue and went home with a close 3-2 win over Grimsby Baptist Church.
Eagles traveled the opposite way to their old stomping ground, but Nelson prevailed 10-3.
Rob Phillips experienced Youngs Seafoods had to fight all the way to overcome Football Wizards. Robs had fears of his team performing on the smaller Kent St pitch. 6-4
