Second half continued as the first with Aquatic battling hard but thankfully Hendon were rarely troubled. On the hour mark Hendon made it four without reply as Shaun Godfrey, fresh from watching Soccer AM in his nightgown lobbed the keeper from distance. The goal was all the more special as it was scored with his left foot. Hendon then conceded a soft goal of which Aquatic deserved for their efforts, this sent newly returned manager Marcus Turnbull into an Incredible Hulk like rageas this scuppered his sides chances of a clean sheet.

West End made a slow start in their game before they hit full throttle in the second half to thrash Sassco UK 10-2.

Knox was working overtime in the Times goal as he pulled off 5 tremendous saves, but he was beaten again as Paul Brooke scored after great work by Nicholson, Adams then made it 5-0 as he scored with a trademark header. Substitute Gordon entered the fray and he made it six goals without reply as he beat two players before rifling the ball into the bottom corner. The Times kept going and they got a deserved consolation goal as Mark Eden let rip from 30 yards leaving the keeper stranded as the ball flew into the top corner.

The Victoria Gardens celebrated well into Saturday night as they won their first point of the season as they battled to a 4-4 draw at Oddfellows.

The second half was much the same and Farm at times were sloppy, Dorian got a well taken second before Charlton did likewise, Dorian clinched his hat-trick with a well taken penalty before Paul Howe scored a great header to cancel out his early error from Dorian's corner. Farm were threatening a landslide now but chances were being wasted before Kyle Lax brought the house down with a sublime individual eighth goal, taking 6 men with great skills before rounding the keeper who had peformed excellent in the second half to complete the scoring and send Farm into the next round.

Thorney Close Inn won again, but they had to do it the hard way as they laboured to a 3-1 success against Country Park Inn.

A very physical Park Inn took the lead when Ryan Scott finished powerfully that gave keeper Jackson no chance. It could have been a lot worse for Thorney had Priest’s shot found the net instead of hitting the bar.

 The second half saw Thorney come out fired up and they immediately created chances but there was no end product. Thorney finally managed to equalise as  sub Kyle Gibson evaded two challenges and drifted into the box to pull the ball back to Paul Brooke to fire home from 8 yards. Thorney were well on top now and the pressure told as Brett Gillat was hauled down in the box with the referee awarding a penalty, up stepped Adam Heath as he kept his nerve to drill his spot kick into the bottom corner. Park Inn went pressing for the equaliser and were caught on the counter attack, as the ball broke to James Smith and his pass set Dale Spence on his way and it was his pass that saw Paul Brooke grab his second goal and clinch the game for his side.

Micky Nicholson starred for Thorney Close, whilst Michael Dennis was star turn for Park Inn.
