UCL DIV 1 WEEKLY ROUND UP WEEK 6

 UCL DIV 1 WEEKLY ROUND UP WEEK 6

With the FA Vase first qualifying round taking centre stage at the weekend league action was limited to a handful of games. St Andrews returned to top spot after a 4 1 Tuesday night victory at home to Holwell Sports, Aaron Preston netting a hat trick on his return to the club.

Harrowby United benefitted from two victories in the league, a 2 nil away win at strugglers Graham Street on Saturday was followed up with a 4 nil success at bottom club Blackstones who have yet to get a point. This was enough to lift them into 4th spot in the table.

Aylestone enjoyed a 2 1 away victory at Radford on Saturday to keep up their challenge in second spot, two points off the top but a game in hand.

In the vase there were victories for Gedling who knocked out division rivals Hucknall and Birstall United who won on penalties against another Division 1 side in Kirby Muxloe the score 2 2 at full time.

Belper United won 2 1 at Bourne Town, Ingles beat Blackstones 4 1 at home in the other inter division ties.

Hinckley raised national eyebrows when visiting ST Martins and coming home with an incredible 18 nil victory.

Dunkirk had a fine 3 nil away win at step 5 AFC Mansfield.

St Andrews sneaked through on penalties after a 1 1 draw at NCEL Div 1 side Clipstone.

Lutterworth Athletic went down 4 1 away at Boston Town. There were also defeats for Holwell Sports, 3 0 at Deeping Rangers, Clifton AWFC 4 1 at Step 5 Leicester Nirvana, Saffron Dynamo on penalties at home to Quorn, Barrow Town 2 1 at Selston and Borrowash Victoria at much fancied Sherwood Colliery but just by the only goal scored.

Good luck to those teams that made it through and commiserations to those that didn't.
