Jesmond 1–1 Stepney

1–1 the final score—Jesmond and Stepney neither better nor worse than the other. Stepney sat 7th, within 5 points of Jesmond's 2nd, close enough to sting. Jesmond were in good nick heading into it, Stepney blowing hot and cold by comparison. Possession swung both ways all afternoon; the chances read the side in dark green 11 shots to Stepney's 15 shots, on target 3–8, corners 4–5. The Bridgemen's Capstick worked the keeper hardest of anyone out there. The keeper was equal to Sinclair's effort, the Bridgemen's best of the game. Mwale's effort had Stepney closest to a goal, kept out. Stepney's Aberystwyth worked the keeper hardest of anyone out there. On 17', Fortesque beat the goalkeeper for the side in charcoal (0–1). Sinclair swept it home for Jesmond on 82' (1–1). The free-kicks stacked up for the Bridgemen, 17 fouls in total, the east London club on 15 fouls. A caution for Buchholz of the east London club on 21'. Salgueiro-Mota saw yellow for the east London club on 60'. A booking for Mittermaier of the east London club on 68'. A booking for Camacã-Pereira of the Bridgemen on 89'. Level it finished, level they remain—Jesmond and the Falcons on to the next.

That's the lot — the Bridgemen 1–1 the Falcons.

Bagshawe was the difference, an 8.4 to his name — a goal and a lay-off. On a day one side could do little wrong, the margins still found their heroes and their hidings. Marks out of ten — Bagshawe 8.4 · Vasque 8.4 · Ecevitoğlu 7.5 · Achterberg 6.8 · Beresford-Hope 6.7 · Saráchaga 6.7 · Brückner-Vidal 6.7. The rest, as they say, were making up the numbers.

Wigston (10th) welcome Marlborough (1st), with both camps insisting they're taking it one game at a time, as ever. Wigston arrive blowing hot and cold; Marlborough are drawing everything in sight. Team news: the west London club are without Akan-Aniefiok and Baudouin. The variables are set; only their interaction remains to be observed.
