Reijer Bergsma-Veen scored twice in Wednesbury Athletic's 5-1 victory over Kirkby FC on Friday 11 September. The performance was reasonably efficient, though the xg suggests the scoreline was somewhat generous. Wednesbury’s structural dominance in the final third allowed Bergsma-Veen to find space, provided the delivery remained consistent.

Beeston AFC maintained their lead with a 1-0 win at Edgbaston FC. It was a narrow result (though largely controlled), leaving Beeston on 13 points. They sit one point clear of Sussex Athletic, who secured a 2-0 win over Llandaff Athletic. Armley Athletic now sit third on 10 points following a 1-2 home defeat to Heaton AFC. Wednesbury Athletic also remain in the conversation for European places.

The relegation zone is currently occupied by Edgbaston, Brixton, and Hitchin. Brixton AFC suffered a 3-1 defeat at Wessex United, while Hitchin Athletic fell 1-3 to Aigburth FC. With zero points separating the drop zone from safety, the margin for error is slim. One assumes the players are aware, even if the managers' press conferences suggest otherwise.

Other results included a 3-2 win for Bitterne FC over Clerkenwell Town and a 3-2 victory for Jesmond AFC at Wellsford Athletic. Mancunia FC and Stepney FC played out a 0-0 draw, a match that lacked progressive carries for significant periods. Pendle Athletic and Marlborough United shared the spoils in a 2-2 draw.

Reuben Edgcumbe continues to lead the golden boot race with four goals.

Matchday 6 begins tomorrow.
