Cooper scored three goals in each half against an Audley side who had to once again to use a patched up Chris Shipway who limped out of the match before the final whistle and manager Steve Mallard had to take over the goal keeping duties and might have played his last game after chipping a bone in his fibula. Mallard played well as a make shift keeper but couldn't prevent, James Ponsford, Tom Robinson and Simeon Mills from giving the tryemen a 3-0 half time lead. Second half goals from Josh Robinson, Simeon Mills and Jason Roach who scored from the penalty spot to make up the half dozen.

Hullavington's good form continues but they took their time before they put FC Bradford away 5-2 but at 3-2 we were given a bit of a fright as Bradford were always in with a chance of getting something from the game. Hullavington took the lead after 15 minutes when Ben Wright chased down a long ball, Bradford's went to clear it but Wright got in the way of the clearance and ran the ball into an open net for his fifth league goal of the season. Bradford were awarded an in-direct free kick in the area after keeper Andy Newbury picked up a Jif Wilkins pass back, Mark Robinson put the ball in the net but the ref hadn't blown his whistle so the effort was ruled out, the re-take produced a booking, and finally at the third attempt Hullavington cleared the danger and the referee blew up for half time. Hullavington doubled their lead early in the second half when a James Nation through ball found Ed Wilkins one on one with keeper Aaron Harford and Wilkins slid the ball past him to make it 2-0. A third goal followed shortly afterwards a Dale Langdown pass played in Ed Wilkins once more who's shot across the face of the goal went in off the post to put the hosts three goals to the good. Hullavington then suffered a bit of a collapse, Bradford's Lee Radwell found himself unmarked at the back post and he simply slotted it past Newbury to reduce the arrears to two which became one when Lee Stevens capitalised on a rare Matt Wilkins error to put Bradford back in the game. Hullavington woke up and were fortunate when they were awarded a penalty after a Phil Garland shot was adjudged to have been handled in the box, Ed Wilkins tucked away the penalty to complete his second hat trick of the season and 13th goal in total. Hullavington's fifth goal came from Nick Cole who got on the end of a loose ball and completed the scoring which gave the winners their fourth victory of the campaign which equals their win tally from 24 games last term.

Not for the first time this season the duo of Mark Smith and Dale Smith combined to put Bremhill View ahead, in this instance it was Mark who crossed for Dale who turned the ball home for Bremhill's opener. Five minute before half time Bremhill doubled their lead and it was another family combination who struck when Marcus Lovesey found Craig Lovesey who fired home number two which was his first ever goal for the club. Benger had the better of the second period but despite all their hard work all they had to show for their efforts was a Nick Slade goal that proved only to be a consolation.
