BRIXTON OLD BOYS 1 NORTH WEST NEASDEN A 1
AET (Brixton won 4-2 on penalties)

Goalkeeper Jake Doffman was the hero as Premier Division new boys Brixton held their nerve to beat first division Neasden on penalties at Clowes.

Ryan Glynne put Neasden ahead 32 minutes into the first half of normal time, but Brixton levelled things up 12 minutes into the second half when Rob Blackman, who returned to midfield following his heroics against Lions up front, sent a 40-yard ball which split the Neasden defence for Alon Hershkorn to fire past their goalkeeper to equalise.

In the shootout, Dan Sherman, James Kaye, Rob Blackman and Ed Weisz converted for Brixton, with Doffman saving two NWN penalties.
