Acton United 1–2 Wednesbury Athletic: Lecuona reaches five

Wednesbury Athletic secured a 2-1 win over Acton United on Saturday 22 August. The afternoon belonged to Baltasar Lecuona, who scored his fifth goal of the campaign. It is a milestone (for him, at least), though he remains far behind Arthur Fortesque, who leads the golden boot race with 12.

The top of the table remains largely unchanged. Marlborough United hold the lead with 52 points after a 1-1 draw at Crookes United. Wellsford Athletic sit second on 48 points after a 2-2 draw with Wessex United, while Heaton AFC move to third with 47 points after a narrow 1-0 victory over Llandaff Athletic.

The rest of the day offered the usual mixture of optimism and mild disappointment. Edgbaston FC managed a 3-2 win at Mancunia FC, while Stepney FC found a way to win 3-2 at Beeston AFC. Hitchin Athletic took a 2-1 result away at Kirkby FC.

Other fixtures ended in the sort of draw that leaves everyone slightly confused. Jesmond AFC and Wigston FC shared the spoils in a 1-1 result. Pendle Athletic and Brixton AFC played out a 2-2 draw, and Sussex Athletic managed a 1-0 win over Aigburth FC.

Typical really. We go again.
