CHAMPIONSHIP DIVISION
Brickfield Rangers Vets 1 (Carr)
Denbigh Wanderers Vets 5 (Booker 4, Vaughan)
Andy Booker was a four-goal star for the visitors.
The prolific marksman compiled all of his haul in the first half, netting on 15, 17, 28 and 44 minutes.

Wanderers missed a host of chances after the break, lacking a clinical edge in front of goal.
The main thing, however, was the three points earned.
Adding to Booker’s quadruple was a single goal from Russ Vaughan on 50 minutes.

Adam Walker and Neil Wynne provided the second-half goals which booked the points for Spartans.
The pair netted on 50 and 65 minutes respectively.
