Premier Division
League leaders Brunsmeer Abbey AJW extended their winning league run to five games, as they beat Sharrow United 2-1 at Warminster Road. 23 year old Joe Highfield was on target twice for the in-form Brunsmeer.

The Handsworth Turf Tavern remain within a point of now league leaders Brunsmeer Abbey AJW, with a comfortable 4-1 win over previously first placed Royal Earl at Davy Sports Club. Handsworth have played a game more more than Brunsmeer, but still have to host them in the league.

Division One
Intake Ball Inn claimed only their second win of the season, with an impressive 3-1 home win over mid-table Concord. Sadly for Intake the three points were not enough to lift them form the bottom of the standings, as they have an inferior goal differential to that of Penistone Church.
