It was a game of two halves at Grassmoor, the first half belonged to league newcomers St Bees who took a 4-1 lead into the half time break with goals from Kevin Fitzwill-iam, Phil Hamand, Andrew Rickerby and Joe Shephard. Then, in a remarkable second half comeback, the home team snatched a victory agai-nst a tiring St Bees team 6-4.

Silloth did everything but score against their visitors Hall Park, who ran out 1-0 victors and Frostoms won by the same scoreline against The Bush.
