Ruddington Village maintained their unbeaten start to the Precision Nottinghamshire Senior League Premier Division season. They didn’t do it in straightforward fashion though as they fought back from two goals down to salvage a draw at local rivals Clifton All Whites.
Ben Clark put Clifton ahead within the first five minutes before Brett Peel doubled the lead 15 minutes later. Ruddington hit back either side of half time to claim a point. West Bridgford also remain unbeaten but they had to rely on a late Carl Westcarr goal to rescue a point at Bilborough Town. Bridgford went 2-0 up thanks to an Abou Sylla double before Bilborough debutant Ricky Law gave the hosts hope with a penalty at the end of the first half. Law went on to complete his hat-trick to put his side into the lead before Westcarr ensured the points were shared.

Aspley Park returned to winning ways with a 6-2 defeat of Calverton Miners Welfare. Ryan Martin scored a hat-trick for Ashland Rovers, in addition to one from Mark Summers, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Clifton All Whites Reserves as they lost 6-4. Tim Berridge (2), Ross Cochrane-Smith, Glenn Kill and Lamah Griggs all notched for Clifton. Ashley Marshall, Matt Rick and Sam Tring helped Hucknall Rolls Leisure Reserves to 3-2 win at Nottinghamshire.

There are a few new sides in the renamed Premier Division this season and the ones that were in action had contrasting fortunes.
Unity have been in existence since 2006 but up until now had only played in exhibition and charity matches. Their first tilt at competitive football didn’t pan out as they would have hoped as they were beaten 4-0 at home by Ruddington Village. The visitors were 1-0 up at the break courtesy of Leigh Sissons. The Villagers took the game out of reach in the second half via a Matt Carver penalty and strikes from Tristan Rhodes and substitute Dave Rimmington. Another new side, Dunkirk AFC, fared better as Lewis Walker scored all four of his team’s goals in a 4-2 win over Cotgrave. Jordan Cumberland got both of the visitors’ replies. Real United have joined from the Central Midlands League and opened their NSL account with a 3-2 win against FC Cavaliers. United would have hoped for a more resounding win after Ryan Bowen, signed from Wollaton in the offseason, and a double from Tim Hopkinson, a new arrival from West Bridgford, had put them three up at the interval. Liam Taylor had other ideas however, as he scored a brace for Cavs in the second half, but ultimately his side were unable to completely close the deficit. Newark Flowserve were the fourth of the division’s new sides to play, having been promoted as runners-up in Division One last term. They faced a baptism of fire as they were hosting last season’s double winners Wollaton but acquitted themselves well to secure a 1-1 draw. Ben Lyons was on target for Flowserve, Jay Smedley for Wollaton. Burton Joyce were another side to take a three goal lead as they overcame Bingham Town 3-1. Sam Buckle, Ryan Clements and Marc Buckle had put the hosts ahead before Tom Spencer pulled one back from the spot. Spencer had an opportunity to halve the deficit with a second penalty after 80 minutes but could only find the keeper’s legs with his effort. Awsworth Villa won by the odd goal in five in a see-saw game against Bilborough Town. Ben Greenhalgh put the hosts ahead before Ricky Cross levelled matters. Danny Walsh then helped Villa get their noses in front again only for Town debutant Jake Kane to peg them back once more. John Whitehurst then put Awsworth ahead for the final time and they held out for the win. In Division One, John Greaves scored twice for Bilborough United, newly promoted from Division Two, as they won 5-2 away at Clifton All Whites Reserves. Robert England, Marcus Newman and Ismael Bartley were also on target for United; Scott Bell and Justin Pinnock got Clifton’s replies. Radcliffe Olympic Reserves overcame Nottinghamshire 4-3 with goals from Edward Davies, Ryan Parnell and Jawanza Grant (2). Simon Betts, Mark Greensmith and Henry Hylton’s efforts were ultimately in vain for Notts. Darren Turner, Sam Rothwell and Damien Humphreys netted for Ruddington Village Reserves in their 3-2 win over Hucknall Rolls Leisure Reserves. Ash Marshall and Reece Jackson replied for Rolls. Kirton Brickworks and Kimberley Miners Welfare Reserves opened their season with a 0-0 draw. In Division Two, Watnall Athletic, who came close to folding in the offseason, rebounded to record a 5-0 win over Bilborough United Reserves with five different players getting on the scoresheet. Kyle Nutt scored twice in Bulwell Reserves' 3-0 win away at Bilborough Town Reserves. John Crawley also netted twice as Keyworth United Reserves defeated Selston Reserves 3-2. Awsworth Villa Reserves began life in the second division, following relegation, with a 7-5 victory over AFC Clifton. Kimberley Miners Welfare AFC were 2-1 winners at Bingham Town Reserves. The Precision Nottinghamshire Senior League is back. This season's competition promises to be the best yet as the newly renamed Premier Division has been expanded to 18 clubs.
Wollaton begin the defence of their title with a trip to newly promoted Newark Flowserve. Wollaton have lost Ryan Bowen to Real United but the rest of the squad remains virtually the same. Manager Andy Alls is also hoping to make a couple of new signings ahead of the first fixture. Wollaton (from): Mitchell, Hunter, Doyle McKeever, Lambert, Millenstead, Campbell, Rawson, Day, Alls, Middleton, Atkins, Stockley, Bell, Turner The aforementioned Real United face FC Cavaliers in their inaugural Nottinghamshire Senior League match, having moved over from the CMFL during the offseason. In addition to Bowen, United have also added four players from last season’s runners-up West Bridgford, but will be without Austin Wallace, John Hart, Jarek Zboch and Steven Venables. Jamie Spiers will captain the side after joining from Arnold Town. He is joined in the squad by Mansfield Town loanee Liam Needham. Real (from): Needham, Burrows, Broderick, Walton, Caoduro, Rhodes, Brown, Moran, Bange, Charlton, Ofushine, Spiers, Large, Hopkinson, Bowen, Tittensor Another new team to the NSL Premier Division this season are Unity. Since the team’s formation in 2006, the youth programme initially established to help tackle crime in Radford, St Anns and the Meadows has played exhibition and charity games, but they have now decided to step into competitive football. Ruddington Village are the visitors to the Nottingham Trent Campus as Unity start this new chapter in their history. Unity (from): Leeder, Ventrella, Copeland, Towlson, G Robinson, N Robinson, Reid, Walters, O Wilson, T Wilson, Carthy, Seaton, Campbell, Burke, Msungama, M Scott, K Scott, Singleton, Hodge, Barracks Ruddington (from): Edge, Benwell, Carver, Davies, Heap, Hudson, Johnson, Leslie, McGlaughin, McMullen, Moore, Osbourne, Rhodes, Rimmington, Sissons, Winch, Hassell Bilborough United make their Division One bow, having won promotion last term, as they visit Clifton All Whites Reserves. Omari Saddler, James Hunt, Dodou Colley and James Walls are in contention to make their debuts. Deriece Duncan has stepped up to the first team squad after impressing for the Reserves but United will be without Pat Hume (ankle) and Alex Featherstone is a doubt due to work commitments. United (from): Mather, Newman, Bamford, Lowe, Walker, Seymour, O’Regan, Saddler, Buxton, England, Hunt, Greaves, Duncan, Walls, Colley Kirton Brickworks have a full squad to choose from for their first game back in Division One, at home to Kimberley Miners Welfare Reserves, following their rather challenging season in the top flight.

Notts (from): Percival, Newbold, Harrison, Evans, Gibbons, Wood, Groves, Greensmith, Betts, Morledge, Mitchell, Cairns, Hylton, Siani, Bell, Meakin Bilborough United’s promotion has allowed their Reserves to join the NSL Division Two. They have a new management team in place as they travel to Greenwich Avenue to take on Watnall Athletic. United (from): Colclough, Rogers, Dyer, Conway, Densley, Starr, Corkill, Burdett, Chapman, Foster, Mitchell, Thomas, Edwards South Normanton Athletic Reserves have been 'rebranded' as South Normanton Town FC for the coming season. This is mainly to tap into more funding opportunities for the club. The ground at the M J Robinson Structures Arena, Lees Lane, has undergone more changes throughout the summer and is now up to Step 5 level. New dug outs have been installed and the surface is as good as ever. It is hoped that visitors to the stadium will enjoy the experience.
On the playing side, manager Sean Staton has secured more assistance and he and Chris Green will be looking for a better season after being blooded into the NSL last term. The squad is a well balanced mixture of youth and experience and they have many youngsters who are on the verge of stepping up to the senior side. Adam Gillott will be looking to further enhance his chances after being a prolific scorer towards the end of last season. The Precision Nottinghamshire Senior League wish to recruit a Results Officer for the 2015/2016 season.
The role involves collating results from all NSL matches and reporting them to local and national press outlets, as well as ensuring accuracy of the league's results website. The successful applicant will also be a member of the League Management Committee. Interested parties should contact League Secretary Tracie Witton on [email protected] in the first instance. |
