The Birds all but blew their chances of reaching the Supporter Week Trophy knockout phase with a second loss, but recovered to triumph in their next two games. French Division Three side Mistic team lived through an early Grilled bombardment to pick Yuta Nakakita apart, and Bahraini playmaker Saleh Al Sulaiti made a habit of breaking in from the left, finding a brace that way.

Kalki Parvathaneni's torrid strike in injury time came too late then, but the forward carried his energy forward against newly-promoted Primera División Cubana club Kernel Panic United, and broke them for a hat-trick, with Moey Xin Seng adding two in a 6-2 win. They then looked headed for another crash against two-time Ecuadorean Challenger Cup winners El Pimiento Mecanico, trailing 1-2 as late as the 86th minute, before Islom Davlatov and Bilal Mohammad Harun manufactured a magical turnaround.

Pimiento's Matthias Reitbauer would be booked after Bilal's would-be winner, as Islom Davlatov tried for a fourth, and the goalscorer couldn't blame him. "It was... heated then. No hard feelings, I'm just glad that we pulled that out!"

Farmer Bunnies would wane as the day went on, though they began strongly with a good 3-0 result over Belgian fifth division foes de charels. Jon Benson's 31st minute header had them controlling the tempo, and they mopped up with Brendan Leung and Nurlan Ablaev firing from narrow places towards the end.

A pair of 0-2 defeats then arrived, however, with both Vilie Army (Belgium Division Three) and Sol Mar (Omani Division Two) foiling the Buns with a tidy 3-5-2 formation. Dalibor Kostadinović had to agree that this was a major concern, with the S-League looming.

"Giving up possession always carries some risk, with teams as skilled as these. We have been relying on Jon Benson perhaps too much in tying our defense and attack together, and it becomes problematic if he gets cut out of the picture."

Grilled International for once outshone their more illustrious counterparts, as they won all three of their games. Dutch Division Six club craic were first to get utterly dominated, as they didn't even manage to test Querubim Santos Couto in a 0-3 loss, that however only got off the ground in the 51st minute. Ratano bin Omar spotted Douglas Murphy ranging too far from his post, and called for the assist at the right time.

It was closer against Argentine V.107 side Fortinero FC, but not by much, as Jan-Willem van Assendelft scored from their only shot on target in a 1-2. Swiss Division Six team CHELSEA FC! were next in line, and International's swarming tactics worked once more as they ran out 3-1 victors.
