BRIGG TOWN 2 BLACKBURN LEISURE 1
Brigg Town hosted Blackburn Leisure in a league and cup double header looking to maintain their 100% record. They managed to do so but Blackies who travelled with just twelve players and ended up with only seven fit ones at the end of the game gave them a fright. Brigg opened the scoring in the first half through Allan Tate but by half time Blackies were on level terms after Andy Shepherd scored. It remained 1-1 until five minutes remained when Brigg got the all important winner through Mark Smith with a fine strike from 25 yards to leave the visitors gutted. Brigg will play Swanland at home in two weeks time in the Quarter Finals.

SWANLAND 1 BRIGG TOWN 2
Swanland and Brigg Town met for the second time in three weeks on a bobbly West Leys Road ground with the strong wind blowing straight down the pitch. This made both sides struggle to play decent football and it was thirty minutes before the deadlock was broken when Lee Sanderson put the home side ahead but by half time Brigg were level through an Allan Tate header. The second half followed the same pattern before with twenty five minutes remaining Simon Mapplethorpe headed home what turned out to be the winner. Brigg now require one more point to clinch the title but that only applies if Blackburn Leisure win all their remaining games.
