Llandaff 1–2 Brixton: Vermeulen-Brand hits five
Raphael Vermeulen-Brand reached five goals for the season during Llandaff Athletic's 2-1 defeat to Brixton AFC on Sunday 30 August. It was a productive afternoon for the striker (though not enough to prevent the loss).
Marlborough United strengthened their grip on the top spot with a 2-1 win over Aigburth FC. They now sit on 69 points, providing a cushion over the chasing pack. Wellsford Athletic and Stepney FC remain tied for second place on 62 points. Wellsford played out a scoreless draw with Sussex Athletic, while Stepney suffered a 1-0 defeat to Wessex United.
Elsewhere, there was a preference for the lower end of the scoreboards. Beeston AFC fell 1-0 to Mancunia FC, and Crookes United were beaten 1-0 by Kirkby FC. Heaton AFC and Hitchin Athletic also played out a 0-0 draw.
Edgbaston FC secured a 2-1 victory against Jesmond AFC, and Wednesbury Athletic took a 1-0 win over Wigston FC. The most prolific encounter of the day took place at Acton United, who played out a 3-3 draw with Pendle Athletic (a result that likely left the defenders feeling a bit tired).
Arthur Fortesque remains the golden boot leader with 12 goals. There is little time to reset before the next matchday tomorrow.
