FCV Grace Dieu’s seemingly unstoppable march towards to the Nottinghamshire Senior League Premier Division title continued in emphatic fashion on Saturday afternoon when putting visiting Wollaton to the sword.

In collecting their 22nd league win of the season, the league leaders are presently eight unbeaten in all competition, and sixteen unbeaten in the league – recently that run has seen them collect seven consecutive clean sheets as ‘keeper Samuel Edwards and his stingy defence have not conceded now for some 630+ minutes.

Against visiting Wollaton, who are tenth, the goals flowed as the hosts racked up a 7-0 win; there’s been nineteen different scorers this season, and against Wollaton Samuel Warburton bagged a hat-trick, Alis Hallaci a brace, as well as one apiece for Hassan Farouq and Spencer Weir-Daley.

Beeston are next in line to try and halt the FCV juggernaut, before the leaders hit the road with their remaining, nine games, all on the road.

Cotgrave are second, fifteen points adrift, with three games in hand, but were made to battle for a point in their 3-3 draw away to Borrowash Victoria, Lewis Robertson with a brace and Scott Litchfield the other for the visitors, the hosts netting via Gerson Diaz, Mason Tudgay, and Josh Lee.

Third place Aslockton & Orston are chasing second themselves, and they won 2-1 at Beeston thanks to goals from Jack Robb and Aidan Loscalzo, Morgan Bell replying, whilst Collingham is now fourth and lost 3-0 at Keyworth United on Friday night, Callum Wolloch with a brace for the victors who are fifth.

Brett Soiza scored twice as Ruddington Village saw off visiting Dunkirk 4-1, and West Bridgford Reserves won 3-1 at home to Southwell City Reserves.

Kimberley Miners Welfare Reserves have a three-point lead on East Leake Robins atop of Division One after both won their respective games 4-2, the leaders doing so at home to Bilborough TRD, second place whilst at AC United.

Bingham Town head up a clutch of sides separated by five points (third to eighth) but were held to a 3-3 draw when away to fifth place Meden Vale Colts; Colsterworth slipped into fourth following their 2-0 win at home to Rushcliffe, and Stapleford Reserves won 3-2 at PMG Excel.

There was also an 8-0 win as AFC Sandiacre won at Keyworth Reserves, and Beeston Old Boys Association picked up their first win of the season, at the eighteenth attempt, 2-1 at Ravenshead, Patrick Bointon and Jac Wheeler with the goals.

Notts Olympic are back on top of Division Two following a 3-1 success away to Rossoneri thanks to goals from Olaf Milewicz, Matt Gordon, and Nile Ions-Hall; AJ Sport are fourth and

picked up a 6-1 win at Wollaton Reserves, whilst mid-table Arnold Town Reserves won 5-1 at home to FC Pelican.

Beeston Reserves head up Division Three by nine points from second place Cotgrave Reserves, who’ve two in hand, both having collected home wins; the former saw off visitors Collingham Reserves, 4-0, thanks to goals from Samuel Morgan, Oluwadamilare Oguntuga, Anthony Peach, and Reuben Rose, whilst the latter won 1-0 against Ravenshead Reds.

Parabellum are joint-second after they were held to a 1-1 draw with visiting Trent Vineyard, whilst fourth place Langwith Whitestar win 2-1 at home to East Leake Robins Reserves.

Seventh place Rushcliffe Reserves were the days’ top scorers, romping to a 16-1 home win over bottom club Nottingham Greens (their goal difference now stands at minus 100 after nineteen games).

Jack Pearson would fire seven of Rushcliffe’s goals in the rout, Kieren Brittan adding a hat-trick, with further goals coming from Crisean Akintan, Deriece Duncan, Joel Goodacre, Tayonne Thomas, Zane Folorunso, and substitute Kaiyus Walton.

A handful of games were also played in the Development Division, Newark & Sherwood moving top on goal difference from Attenborough after they won 7-1 away to Cotgrave, Joseph Kingsman and Kalvin Osborn both grabbing braces.

Warriors won 2-0 at home to Red Sea, and there was a 2-0 win for West Bridgford at Pegasus, meanwhile in the Development Cup, Linby and Attenborough battled out a 3-3 draw, Oskar Janczarek and Lakshay Sharma netting braces for their respective sides.
