Grove beat Morgan 9-0 in the DSA U13 League. The first half was close and the deadlock was only broken when the Morgan keeper made a great save, pushing the ball onto the bar, and was unlucky to see Grove quick to react and turn in the loose ball from close range. Despite more good Morgan saves Grove moved on to lead 3-0 at the break. Though the wind was not as strong in the second half, it was in Grove's favour as they pressed forward for more goals. Morgan enjoyed the occasional foray into the Grove half but were not able to get on the scoresheet on this occasion.

In the first Dundee derby of the season in the Scottish Shields there was nothing between the teams at Elliot Road in the first half-hour with Harris missing an early chance and midway through the half St.John's going a goal up when the Harris keeper could only parry a shot and St.John's were sharp to react. With 5 minutes left till halftime St.John's suddenly rattled in three goals to go into the break with a 4-0 lead. Any hopes of Harris making a comeback down the slope in the second half were knocked on the head within 30 seconds of the restart as St.John's scored a quick fifth. A sixth goal later in the half finished the game off in favour of St.John's but Harris scored a consolation goal from a corner to reward their efforts.
