The game of the day was the KFA Championship clash at Coaltown between the top two sides Balgonie Scotia and Kennoway Amateurs. It was Scotia though who opened up a three-point gap at the top with a Cumbie Bowers hat trick and a Ryan Kelly double giving their side a 5-3 victory.

Glenrothes Strollers returned home pointless after losing 4-0 to Rosyth Amateurs.
