AFC Ramsdell was denied a late goal at Brookvale United in Division 4, after a push from a Ramsdell player on the back of a Brookvale player, finishing 3-2 in favour of the team most likely to win promotion. Ramsdell had made a really good fight of it until the end, the players have to be very happy with the closeness of the result. Brookvale are in the fight for the title, so this was a great result for Ramsdell. Goals for Ramsdell were Jake Ball and Freddie Stevens.

A brace from Thomas Bartlett for AFC Popley ensured a 0-2 victory at Westside Athletic.
