The United Counties League Premier Division title challengers both won tricky second round away ties yesterday (November 3), but there was disappointment for Peterborough Northern Star who went down 1-0 at Redbridge. A goal just past the half hour mark saw off Star who battled gamely to the end.

Two Danny Durkin goals secured a 2-1 win for Deeping at Wantage Town. The winner arrived 10 minutes into the second-half after Wantage had equalised Durkin’s first goal before the break.
