With only 11 players available, Westfield Wanderers produced their best performance of the season, when they visited a strong Wigston Utd side. In breezy conditions, the first half was evenly contested, but it was Westfield who took the lead after 10 minutes, when Ryan Brightwell found Alex Tustain unmarked in the box, and he calmly advanced and slotted the ball home. In the second half some neat interplay saw Tom Wallace burst through, but his shot went narrowly wide. Wigston thought they had equalised when a long throw in caused confusion, but the goal was ruled out for offside. After 65 minutes Dominic Hancox found Sam Williscroft in plenty of space, and he had time to pick his spot for the second goal. With 10 minutes left Ben Sykes turned his marker on the half way line, and raced down the right wing before unleashing a screamer from 35 yards which flew into the top left hand corner, an early contender for Goal of the Season. Westfield were now in control, and within a minute were further ahead. A free kick was floated into the 6 yard box by David Drewery, and Ryan Brightwell was first to the ball to head home. With 2 minutes left, Sam Williscroft broke through again, but his shot was well saved by Wigston keeper Ashley Metcalfe, however the ball rebounded to Westfield's Player of the Match Tom Wallace, who smashed the ball home to seal an emphatic 5-0 win.

Countesthorpe continued to press for the goal to seal the game and with 5 minutes left Jenno then rifled in an unstoppable free kick to secure the points for Athletic.

In a game of two halves, Loughborough battled their way to the most unlikely of draws on a windy afternoon at Aylestone Park finishing the game with ten men following an injury after all the substitutes had been played. Aylestone set up camp in Loughborough's half shortly after the first whistle and remained there for most of the half. Well-worked goals after twenty two and thirty one minutes tightened Aylestone's grip on the game but there could easily have been four more as Aylestone came forward at will. Relief came, against the run of play, with two goals in three minutes just before half-time. The first came as O'Mara got the lightest of headed touches on a long throw in from Russell and cleared the goalkeeper's despairing leap. The second was a reward for Morris' persistence in chasing a lost cause which tempted the Aylestone keeper out of his ground and Cook deftly chipped into an empty net.

In the second half Loughborough rediscovered their self-belief and started to take the game to Aylestone with the introduction of Scott on the left adding a dimension that had been lacking in the first half. Munaim and Bennett began to win more of the ball in mid-field and Cook was as industrious as ever. On sixty minutes Loughborough were reduced to ten men following an injury to Cooper and for the last twenty minutes Loughborough showed real determination to keep Aylestone at bay.

With the chill breath of autumn nipping at players and spectators alike Loughborough ran out winners by three goals to two on an evening where they had opportunities to score many more. Two goals from Morris and one from Brandford were the reward for long periods of pressure and the emergence of a fluency that has appeared only fleetingly so far for Loughborough. The Blaby & Whetstone side had a makeshift look to it but did not lie down and was rewarded with two goals from misunderstandings in the Loughborough defence which made the last 10 minutes less comfortable than it should have been. Dynamo started brightly and scored on seven minutes from a piece of individual skill from Morris who threaded the ball into the net from the narrowest of angles. Brandford, Cook and Morris all had opportunities to stretch the lead but another goal did not come until thirty seven minutes when Brandford followed up an attack from mid-field and scored with a fine drive from just outside the area. Blaby scored just after the re-start, the result of a rather casual piece of Loughborough defending, and this gave Blaby encouragement. Loughborough continued to probe drawing a number of good saves from the Blaby keeper. On fifty eight minutes Loughborough snatched a third goal on the break following a solo run from Morris. Loughborough appeared to be coasting to victory until seventy minutes when another defensive lapse gifted a second to Blaby which made for a tense last ten minutes. (PLAYED MID-WEEK)
