Burton Albion opened their Group 1 campaign with a 5-0 victory over Austrey Rangers who were thankful for goalkeeper Ellis Hunkins keeping the score down. Romulus had their scoring boots on when they faced Pilkington XXX and rattled up ten goals to their opponents one. Pilkington fared slightly better when they took on Burton but despite pulling a goal back when two down it was Burton who went on to win 6-1. Romulus had Jim Dale, Paul Murchington and Courtney Richards all scoring hat-tricks while Jan Trapszo capped that by getting on the scoresheet four times in a 17-0 win over Austrey Rangers who, despite their heavy defeat, earned the appreciation of those watching for their spirited performance. Austrey, after going one behind against Pilkington, scored their first goal but the understandable celebrations  seemed to distract them from the game at hand and they fell behind yet again. They then went on to take a 3-2 lead which Pilkington pulled back with a penalty. It was another spot-kick which gave Austrey a 4-3 victory. Romulus and Burton faced each other both defending 100% records and it was Romulus who

Mile Oak Rovers are unbeaten in Group 1. They fell behind to Burton Albion in their first game before taking a 2-1 lead into the break. Growing in confidence as the game went on they finished as 4-1 winners. Burton twice took the lead in a competitive game at Mile Oak but the hosts twice came from behind to earn each side a point in a 2-2 draw. Nuneaton Town's opening match saw them rally after going behind to two very good Tividale goals. With the teams level 2-2 at the break Nuneaton's defence held out against some excellent football played by Tividale before clinching the game 4-2. In the return Tividale's flowing football was rewarded with six goals, without reply, in the first half. A stronger second-half showing enabled Nuneaton to pull back two goals before Tividale added to their firt-half tally to finish as 8-2 winners. In their last game Mile Oak took the lead just before the break and extended their lead before Tividale pulled one back. Tividale were unable to build on this and eventually fell 4-1. Nuneaton Town started well on Saturday and led 2-0 at the change around before Burton also scored two for a share of the spoils.

Bilbrook came close to earning a point in their last game saw Wednesfield come out winneres by 2-1.
