Redbridge beat its competitor Hillingdon during the first round with a whopping victory of 65 per cent.
Whereas, Waltham Forest competed against Harrow during the first round and only narrowly beat the borough with a 51 per cent majority.
The second round will pit Redbridge against Wandsworth and Waltham Forest against Bromley.
The most eye-catching match set for the second round is a “game” between the two big-hitting London boroughs of Hackney and Camden.
The final is set to take place later this month.
