Also grabbing all six points were MBDA as they put behind them three successive weeks of cup elimination. Ashley Kersey hit a hat-trick in the opening game, they also benefitted from an own goal. Robbie Duckworth got A1 Trophies’ goal. In match two, they were three-nil to the good at half-time as in the first game, this time it was older brother Paul Kersey who started the scoring with a header.
