		The only game to beat the weather was the Birmingham County Cup fifth round tie between Trysull Tigers and Tipton Town and an excellent game ensued despite the conditions but the tie was effectively decided in the fourth minute when a Trysull free kick found its way into the Tipton net courtesy of a wicked deflection off a Tipton defender. Tipton, kick into the sun in the first half tried valiantly to get themselves back into the game but the Trysull defence held firm and at the other end of the pitch the Tipton defence held the Trysull strikers at bay.
