Benjamin Moore scored twice as ICA Sports won for just the second time this season, 3-0 at home to Sutton Bridge United, and Peterborough Polonia won a stormy game at Langtoft United 2-1 thanks to goals from Sebastian Bialoskorka and Dorian Janicki. Referee James Truman sent off three Langoft players in the closing stages.
