Biggleswade's League struggles continued with a 3–1 defeat to Halesowen Town at The Grove. Reduced to ten men early in the second half, the Waders showed spirit but were outclassed by the Yeltz, who extended their impressive home form.

Halesowen dominated the first half, with Kieren Donnelly central to their relentless attack. Biggleswade goalkeeper Jack Berman produced several saves to keep the Waders in the game. Donnelly, however, broke the deadlock in first-half stoppage time, heading in a Conor Tee corner after sustained pressure.

The second half began dramatically with Biggleswade’s Liam Andrews sent off ten minutes in. Surprisingly, this seemed to lift the waders, as Florian's cross nearly set up Cyrus Babaie, but Halesowen regained control.

Twenty minutes from time, Donnelly’s surging run and shot forced Berman to parry, allowing Jordan Ponticelli to tap in and double the lead. Ten minutes later, Conor Tee converted a penalty with a stunning finish into the top corner.

Biggleswade responded from the spot four minutes later, with Obidinma Onyeagwara placing his penalty beyond Dan Platt for a consolation. Despite a late disallowed goal, the Waders couldn’t break through again as Halesowen expertly saw out the game.
