The Fellowship took on AFC Lech Albans and the scores were locked at 3-3 at half-time.

Andy Jeffreys’ The Fellowship increased the pressure on their opponents in the second half and this enabled man of the match John Coten to complete his hat-trick as a last minute goal sealed the win.

Chris Wyatt’s Hemel Elite found themselves trailing 3-2 at the midway point of their fixture with Up Yours FC.

It was Elite who emerged from the break as a much improved side and some fantastic team work enabled them to gain the lead in the match.

Dan Hall scored one, but it was predominantly his solid defensive performance that earned him the man of the match accolade as Elite triumphed 9-8.

Slytherin FC flew in to a 4-1 half-time lead in their match with ATBL, with keeper Callum Mackie on top form.

Man of the match Charlie Rance scored with an audacious back-heel as Slytherin ran out 10-5 victors.

International outfit Butterflies FC looked like they were back to their best as they took on Matt Armstrong’s Big P FC.

Marcin Maslowski’s men had soon established a 6-0 lead, and man of the match Craig Dicker eventually ended with a personal tally of five goals in a comfortable 14-2 victory.

Ayden Peacock’s Smack My Pitch Up also looked at full strength as they came up against former Premiership champions Chicken Kiev.

Peacock’s men had a 4-2 lead as the half-time whistle blew, and defender Jack Finn kept Kiev at bay as the match finished 8-4 in their favour.

The Oysterfarions were without injured captain Ross Dutton as they took on a Have You Got It team who had the chance to win their fourth game in succession.

Dutton’s men looked a little fatigued and Asa Foster’s side soon capitalised on this to open up a 12-goal lead.

Foster, who has the highest running goal tally across both divisions this season, looked unstoppable again. With a further eight goals this week, he will take some catching.

Adam Daniel’s Fury Girls were under-strength for their points match with Kegs Down FC and found themselves trailing by seven goals at half-time.

Liam James’ Kegs Down didn’t have too much work to do to beat the makeshift defence and front man Matt Collier converted nine goals of his own in a thumping win.
