In a bid to give players more opportunities to hone their penalty skills, this season the FA have introduced penalty shootouts when a match ends in a draw. The draw itself still results in a point for each team, with the winners of the shootout earning an additional point.

Merseyside went on to win the penalty shootout.

In the Championship, Team 2 (RNC) had a slight edge over Team 1 (WBA), with one win and a 0-0 draw in their two matches. Prospective RNC student Toby Williams netted the winning goal for RNC in the first match.
