A bottom half of the table clash featured under the Friday Night Lights in the Euro Soccer Notts Senior League this past weekend as Bingham Town moved up to ninth place following a comfortable, 3-1 win away Southwell City Reserves.

A lively performance from the visitors saw them lead at the break, before wrapping up victory in the second half, Jacob Boyes scoring twice for the visitors alongside a goal from Kieran Stanley, Henry Eastgate with the hosts’ consolation.

On the Saturday, Cotgrave made it seven unbeaten to start the season, registering their sixth win, with a 6-1 success at Dunkirk, player-manager Scott Litchfield helping himself to a hat-trick. The victory sees them three ahead of joint-second pairing, Awsworth Villa and Collingham.

With the latter inactive, Awsworth jumped ahead on goal-difference after they won 4-0 at home to West Bridgford Reserves, Cameron Thurgood scoring twice, whilst Arnold Town moved back up to fourth with a 4-1 win at Wollaton, Liam McCormack at the double.

Kimberley Miners Welfare Reserves won 2-1 at Woodthorpe Park Rangers to move above Keyworth United who lost 3-2 at home to Notts Olympic, Beeston snatched a stoppage time 2-1 win at FC Cavaliers and Aslockton & Orston won 3-1 at Ruddington Village.

In the Camper UK Central Midlands Alliance League meanwhile, Tobias Burke netted two, first half goals, as early leaders Teversal were firmly beaten 4-0 away to Elite AFC, and Ollerton Town were beaten 6-1 away to a Kinsley Boys side who sit third, with games in hand in the Premier North.

Worksop Town Reserves, who sit fourth in the North division, were on County Cup duty, putting seven without reply past visitors Rossington Main Development in the Sheffield & Hallamshire Cup.

Meanwhile in the Premier South Graham Street Prims are top and won an eight-goal thriller when home to mid-table Selston; a back-and-forth contest saw the hosts leading 2-1 at the break as Jack Cockram netted for the visitors, before Arthur Pashley netted a second equaliser just after the hour.

Selston then led with less than fifteen remaining as Cockram netted his second, and their third, before the hosts grabbed a 5-3 win in the closing stages; the hosts would however see Alex Searle open and close the scoring, his brace capping the win in the ninetieth minute.

There were also six goals at Blidworth Welfare as they drew 3-3 at home to Mickleover Athletic, the visitors having led 2-0 in the first half whilst Ben Copestake also saw a first half stoppage time penalty saved.

The remaining game finished goalless as Linby Colliery Welfare were held to a 0-0 draw at home to Melbourne Dynamo.
