Another result that underlined the coming out of underdog teams was the 1-1 draw between favourites Sparta Boss and Agricola Champion Boys.
The Sparta Boss versus Agricola Champion Boys clash was a fiercely contested encounter that saw the most feared team in the format escape with a draw against a team that has consistently showed no fear for them.
It took a sixth minute strike from Devon Millington to salvage a tie after Agricola had taken the lead one minute earlier through Lloyd Matthews.
In another game that could have serious implications was the match between Albouystown and Back Circle.
