AFC Dunstable 5 Kings Langley 6
Fred Karno is alive and well, and made an appearance at Creasey Park yesterday as both defences failed to defend. A good day for centre-forwards, as Rene Howe for Kings and John Shamalo for AFC both scored a brace apiece. Star player for Kings Langley was AFC old-boy Louie Collier who bagged a hat-t...

Kempston Rovers 0 Biggleswade Town 3
A plethora of former Canaries on display on Saturday, as the Waders brushed aside a poor Kempston side by 3-0. Kempston lucky to get nil, as they wasted an early penalty with the game goalless.
