Stepney FC 3–1 Acton United: ten games of this
Acton United lost 3-1 to Stepney FC on Friday 21 August. This marks ten matches without a victory for the club. It is a concerning run. They spent much of the afternoon chasing the game (and a rogue ball that would not stop bouncing).
Wellsford Athletic kept pace at the top with a 1-0 win over Wednesbury Athletic. They sit in second place with 47 points. Marlborough United remain the league leaders with 51 points after a 1-1 draw against Beeston AFC. Brixton AFC occupy third with 46 points following a 2-2 draw with Mancunia FC.
Wigston FC managed a comfortable 3-1 win over Hitchin Athletic. Sussex Athletic travelled well, taking a 2-0 win at Wessex United. Other results included Edgbaston FC edging Kirkby FC 1-0 and Crookes United winning 2-1 at Llandaff Athletic. Pendle Athletic beat Aigburth FC 2-1. Jesmond AFC and Heaton AFC played out a 0-0 draw that suggested both sides had forgotten how to attack.
Arthur Fortesque continues to lead the scoring charts with 11 goals.
There is little time to reset for those at the bottom. Games resume tomorrow. Acton United will allegedly try to find a way to win. Typical really.
