Wards 13 Old Kings Head 0
Wards met with Old Kings Head this week in what turned out to be a very one sided game with Wards going nap and hitting thirteen without reply. Wards really started with a bang by hitting eight goals in the first 16 minutes. Ryan Manning scored 4 of those then went off injured. Either Old Kings Head found a few defensive qualities or Wards eased up, because only another 3 were added to the scoreline by half-time. Again Old Kings Head regrouped in the second half to only concede another two. The other goals were added by Chris Moss with 4, Neil Stokoe with 3 and Gavin Whitehead 2.
Osmaston FC 7 Corn Exchange 2
Osmaston FC continued where they left off last season in this first game against newcomers Corn Exchange. Dan O'Connell with 2 led the way for Osmaston FC with other goals coming from Claude Briscoe, Lewis Kerr, Shaun Roberts, Jonathon Mitchell and Sam Blount. Consolation goals coming from Matt Smith and Martin Gough for the Exchange.
Needles FC 4 Sherwood Foresters 3
In a hard but fair game between two newly promoted sides, Needles just edged out the Foresters by 4-3. Needles took a 2-0 lead through Buxton and Theaker. Hutchinson pulled one back for Sherwood just before half time. Buxton with his second restored the 2 goal advantage for the Needles, but goals from Evans and Muir seemed to have snatched a point for the Foresters, but a superbly hit lob over the keeper from 25 yards by Coleman put the Needles back in control and secured the points for the Needles and kept them in second spot.

INTER 2
New Zealand Arms 3 - 2 RL Athletic
The New Zealand wrapped up a worthy victory against the early season pace setters in Derby Taverners' League Inter 2 division. After a sluggish start which saw the New Zealand absorb early pressure, RL Athletic scored with their first real effort on goal after A. Braisby spilled a cross at the feet of Dave Lambert, who took the chance. Ellis soon got the New Zealand back on level terms rounding the keeper and slotting home after getting on to a measured through ball from Groves. Ellis grabbed his and New Zealand s second goal, latching onto a long throw and flick on from P Braisby. Ellis then turned provider, holding the ball up on the edge of the box and laying it into the path of Stone who struck home.
The pitch made it difficult for both sides, but some good football was played by both sides. Athletic pulled one back midway through the second half with a free kick from Gaz Taylor, and pushed on towards the end but could not find the equalizer.
As RL pressed and threw players forward in the final minutes they left gaps at the back. RL's advancing keeper was robbed by Ellis outside the box and he ran free on an empty net, shooting from 10 yards out to complete his hat trick, but missing the gaping goal. To his relief, the referee blew the final whistle moments later and spared his blushes. Despite this defeat RL Athletic remain on top with a better goal difference.
Chellaston Rams 2 West End Brick 2
The first league meeting went ahead today with the West End Brick travelling away to Chellaston Park to meet Chellaston Rams. The game started with very few chances to show in the first 20 minutes with only a few glimpses of hope for West End with some fine runs by young Paul Beresford, one of which paid off for him in the 20th minute as West End Brick were awarded a free kick just inside the centre of the oppositions half where John Kidd lofted a ball over the top down the centre to Kevin Brown where he controlled a timed pass perfectly to Paul Beresford just outside of the 6 yard box to leave the keeper with no chance.
The game then turned in favour of Chellaston Rams and West End Brick then were needing to defend for the first time in the game and were guilty of giving errors away cheaply which then turned costly by the 35th minute with a solo effort from Michael Bestwick to equalise for Chellaston Rams which kept the score level at half-time.
The second half kicked off in the same manor as the first half with the West End Brick controlling the start with yet again Paul Beresford running the show, scaring the opposition with his speed and dribbling which again paid off with a solo goal, a long range strike to drop over the goal keeper to make it 2-1 to West End Brick in the 60 Minute. The game then yet again swung in the momentum of Chellaston Rams but not to the same degree as the first half as the defence were holding a better position and controlling the back line a lot better, but this mattered non as by the 82nd minute M Bestwick was brought down by Mark Davies just inside the box. He took the penalty himself to again pull Chellaston level and a share of the points.
