Second placed Borrowash, and third place Woodthorpe, both collected narrow wins at the weekend, also at home, when seeing off Aslockton & Orston (3-2), and West Bridgford Colts II (1-0) respectively, whilst the only other, undefeated side in the top division, is fourth place Stapleford Town, they winning 1-0 away to Awsworth Villa.

Several sides remain undefeated early on in Division One, but its Hucknall Town Reserves who lead the way with three-from-three, they having edged a seven-goal thriller away to Bestwood Colliery to keep their noses in front; a game which would see six, different scorers, it would be the victors Trevell Lindo who’d keep the leaders in front with a brace.

Fewer games have been played in both Division Two, and Division Three, the former seeing that of West Bridgford Colts III and Keyworth United Reserves with four points apiece from their opening two matches.
The pair would be seen to play out a 3-3 draw under the Friday night lights, at Keyworth, the hosts netting through Conor Pauley (2) and Joshua Till, whilst the visitors hit back via Kayne McKenna Crofts (2) and Kieran Clarke.
