Quentin Glanville provided the moment of the day on Saturday 5 September, netting in the 85th minute to secure a 3-2 win for Kirkby FC over Jesmond AFC. It was a timely piece of work. One usually expects the 85th minute to be reserved for optimistic long throws and a general sense of fatigue, not a decisive blow.

In fairness, Glanville’s output is impressive, but he sits behind Anders Holmström in the golden boot rankings, as both men have one goal to their name.

Marlborough United currently occupy the top spot in the table. Their 2-0 away win at Edgbaston FC was efficient, though the individual breakdown suggests Edgbaston simply forgot how to defend. Sussex Athletic and Stepney FC also sit on three points, the latter having survived a seven-goal thriller to beat Brixton AFC 4-3.

The rest of the day offered various degrees of stalemate. Pendle Athletic and Clerkenwell Town managed a 0-0 draw, a result that felt like a mutual agreement to do as little as possible. Wellsford Athletic and Armley Athletic shared the spoils in a 1-1 finish, while Mancunia FC and Heaton AFC ended with the same scoreline.

Other results saw Wessex United edge Aigburth FC 2-1, and Beeston AFC survive a 3-2 scrap against Wednesbury Athletic. Llandaff Athletic took a 3-2 win at Hitchin Athletic, and Sussex Athletic comfortably dispatched Bitterne FC 2-0.

With 37 matchdays remaining, the hierarchy is unlikely to hold. There is very little time to reset before matchday 2 arrives tomorrow.
