In the Scottish Communities League Cup first round, we had four of our six Scottish teams playing and the best came from Morton 6-2 away to East Fife.

In the league, Leyton Orient got off to a flying start as they win their first game 5-1 away to Carlisle. Wigan won 4-0 away to Barnsley while Fleetwood won 3-1 at home to Redbridge. The team with the highest votes to play this weekend was QPR with 16. They won their first game 2-1 at home to Sheff Wed. We had six teams that picked up their first blank of the season.
