Northminster Villa also easily beat Bees United 0-3 away, and the Aristocrats were left humbled by local rivals, Fort Hammers United 1-0.
In Bourneports 0-1 defeat against Palace Eagles a peculiar moment happened on the 54th minute mark, the sprinkler system turned on which caused a disruption and a 15 minute delay for the restart. Both managers weren't happy with this incident in the post match interviews and the fans at the front of the stands weren't too happy. In fact, when the sprinkler system decided to make a splash of its own during the football match, the surround PA system decided to malfunction which only added to the calamity. A routine battle for three points turned into a waterlogged comedy of errors, leaving players and staff on the side lines alike in stitches.Its going to be one hell of a battle for the 37 games left, tears will be wept at the end of it, both of joy and misery and perhaps boredom if you're unlucky enough.
