They remain undefeated as are Longwell Green Sports Res. in second place. Totterdown United won by the only goal of the game at Nicholas Wanderers to consolidate their mid-table position, but Hartcliffe are still hovering above the relegation zone after a 6-0 drubbing at Wick.

First Division pace setters Shaftesbury Crusade eased to a 3-0 success at Patchway Town Res. and stretched their lead to nine points from Frampton Athletic who did not play this week. Third-placed AEK Boco won by the odd goal in seven at Bristol Manor Farm Res. to keep their hopes alive while Old Sodbury still have an outside chance after trouncing Seymour United 7-2. The bottom two teams shared a 1-1 draw leaving Oldland Abbotonians Res. on the bottom of the table without a win this season, but Made for Ever moved out of the bottom two places at the expense of Brimsham Green. In the other game played this week, Greyfriars Athletic fought out a 2-2 draw with Henbury Res.
