The Nottinghamshire Senior League Premier Division leaders Southwell City return to league action having maintained their 100% record this season across both the League and County cups in their last two outings. Gedling Southbank, who picked up their first win of the season in the NSL Senior Cup last weekend, are their hosts at Eagle Valley.
Eastwood CFC Development will be looking to capitalise on any slip up by Southwell as they welcome Bingham Town to the Play Soccer USA 3G Arena. Stapleford Town also have a 100% record but have played the fewest games in the division so are currently in seventh place. They hope their ascent continues with a trip to the Ron Steel Sports Ground to play AFC Dunkirk. After a bright start to the season Awsworth Villa have tasted defeat in their last three outings. They will attempt to get back to winning ways as they head to Spa Lane to face Aslockton & Orston. Attenborough crashed out of the NSL Senior Cup last week at the hands of lower division opposition. They will attempt to make amends as they welcome bottom club Bilborough Town to The Strand. Radcliffe Olympic will get their home league campaign properly underway, having forced to be nomadic so far this season, with Magdala Amateurs the visitors to Wharf Lane. Calverton Miners Welfare host Keyworth United at Hollinwood Lane and FC Cavaliers entertain Sandiacre Town. Wollaton are in Nottinghamshire FA Senior Cup action with Gedling Miners Welfare of the East Midlands Counties League visiting the WSA. It’s Nottinghamshire FA Senior Trophy action for most sides in the rest of the league and there are a number of all-NSL ties: AFC Top Valley host Ruddington Village at Hollinwood Lane while Ruddington Village Reserves welcome Southwell City Reserves to Elms Park. Elston United of Division Two entertain the Division One leaders Bridgford United at Balderton while Wollaton Reserves meet Clifton All Whites Development.

Woodthorpe Park Rangers will be looking to take advantage of a number of their rivals being in cup action by nicking top spot if they can win away at Awsworth Villa Reserves. Bestwood Miners Welfare kick off the NSL Senior Cup in style...The Nottinghamshire Senior League Senior Cup got underway with a major giant-killing. Duane Haywood struck four times as his Bestwood Miners Welfare, from Division One, routed Premier Division Attenborough 7-0. A Ndreqim Krashiqi free-kick, a Stefan Dalmedo shot and a Wayne Evans overhead kick completed the scoring.
Also knocking out higher ranked opposition were AFC Bridgford, as a Thomas Teer brace gave them a 2-1 win against Calverton Miners Welfare. Alex Clarson netted for Calvo. Bridgford United couldn’t emulate their Division One colleagues in their match against Gedling Southbank, however, as they went down 5-4 after extra-time. Jourdan Blair both scored and got sent off for Bridgford, Matthew Fox-Smith with a hat-trick for GSB. It also took extra time for Aslockton & Orston to see off Cotgrave. Pierce Hallam put Aslockton ahead midway through the first half but a double from Lee Potts, one from the penalty spot, meant Cotgrave went into the break ahead. Julian Joachim’s equaliser on 80 minutes meant the extra period would be necessary, where the veteran striker notched twice more to make it 4-2 in the end. Joachim’s second came from the penalty spot after a foul that saw the Cotgrave keeper receive his second yellow card and therefore also his marching orders. Southwell City came from behind to knock out Awsworth Villa 2-1. Jake Fisher had put Villa ahead from the penalty spot but a brace from half-time substitute Ewan Hill meant the tie went Southwell’s way. Ashley Dixon put Bilborough Town ahead early on at Wollaton but two apiece from Tom Slade and Joshua Stevenson, alongside Scott Carlile, Kyle Crofts and Matt Goodwin strikes, meant the hosts ran out 7-2 winners. Dixon also got Town’s second. A solitary Ryan Tinsley effort was enough to see Keyworth United past Eastwood CFC Development 1-0 while an Andrew Danylyszyn double gave FC Cavaliers a 2-0 win over Radcliffe Olympic. Bingham Town beat Basford United Community 5-2 and Sandiacre Town edged out Magdala Amateurs 3-2. In the three all-Division One ties, goals from Joel Buxton, Jason Stonley and Joseph Quilliam saw Beeston knock out Kirton Brickworks 3-0, Daniel Dennis, Adam Forry, James Lawrence-Forbes and Kieran Wheat helped Woodthorpe Park Rangers past Burton Joyce 4-1 and Fraser Cannon-Brownlie, Danny Hollas, Daniel Neary and Gary Watson were all on target as Ruddington Village overcame Mansfield Hosiery Mills 4-1. Stapleford Town claimed a Central Midlands League scalp in the Nottinghamshire FA Senior Cup as Junior Rodriguez and Ben Smedley struck to give them a 2-1 win against Linby Colliery Welfare. In league action in Division One, Radford Reserves beat Awsworth Villa Reserves 4-2, including a hat-trick from Rachidou Akpo, Southwell City Reserves overcame Wollaton Reserves 3-0 and, on Friday night, Kimberley Miners Welfare Reserves saw off Selston Reserves 7-0. In Division Two, AFC Top Valley came from behind to earn a 2-2 draw at Ravenshead Reserves. Captain Adam Sprake put Top Valley ahead but they found themselves trailing 2-1 at the half.

Senior Cup gets underway...In the Nottinghamshire Senior League’s Premier and Division One the majority of teams take a break from league action this weekend as the Senior Cup gets underway. There are a few teams from Division One that will be hoping to upset the odds as they come up against higher-ranked opposition, possibly none more so than Bridgford United. They currently sit top of the second flight and welcome Gedling Southbank, second bottom of the Premier Division, to Hollinwood Lane.
Also looking for major scalps are on home turf AFC Bridgford, who entertain Calverton Miners Welfare at Gresham Sports Park, Netherfield Albion, who welcome AFC Dunkirk to Roko, and Bestwood Miners Welfare, who host Attenborough. Basford United Community, unbeaten so far, will hope that continues as they head to Butt Field to play Bingham Town. There are five all-Premier Division ties: League leaders Southwell City, with their 100% record, will try to take that form into the cup as they travel to The Shilo to face Awsworth Villa. Cotgrave, having won their last two matches 5-1, would love a repeat of that score line as Aslockton & Orston make the trip to Woodview. Eastwood CFC Development edged past Keyworth United 3-2 when they met in the league earlier this month, they do battle again at Platt Lane. FC Cavaliers welcome Radcliffe Olympic to The Forest, Magdala Amateurs host Sandiacre Town at Roko and Wollaton and Bilborough Town meet at the WSA.

In selected Division Two fixtures, unbeaten leaders Stapleford Town Reserves welcome an Elston United side still searching for their first points to Hickings Lane. Also unbeaten are AFC Clifton and AFC Top Valley who host Magdala Amateurs Reserves and travel to Ravenshead Reserves respectively. Ravenshead should have top scorer Tyler Lambert back after injury, whilst Mark Smallwood figured in training and is looking for minutes after limping out of the first team’s opening fixture. Brad Martin is away and Dave Harkin is a doubt. Southwell City are the new leaders of the Nottinghamshire Senior League Premier Division after they made it six wins from six by seeing off Bilborough Town 4-0. Olly Clarke rounded the Bilborough keeper to put City ahead after a quarter of an hour. The lead was doubled on 24 minutes when Clarke was tripped for a penalty and Daniel Gleeson dispatched the resultant spot kick. Calum Law converted from a corner not long into the second half then 16 year old Ewan Hill rounded out the scoring with half an hour remaining. Town’s Ricky Law was sent off late on for two cautionable offences.
Stapleford Town also have a 100% record but from only four matches. They were 3-0 victors over Awsworth Villa, who have now suffered back-to-back defeats after winning their opening five matches. Junior Rodriguez, Ryan Bowen and Emmet Edwards were all on target for Town. Lee Potts scored a hat-trick for Cotgrave as they recorded successive 5-1 victories, this one coming against Gedling Southbank. Adam Gray and Bassey Okon also netted for Cotgrave; Kai Partington got Gedling’s consolation. George Bosworth bagged a brace for AFC Dunkirk as they won 4-2 at Bingham Town. Sam Harbottle and Luis Parkes also scored for Dunkirk. It was 1-1 at half time but Keyworth United ran riot after the break to end up 5-1 winners over Magdala Amateurs. Keyworth were ahead after exactly 100 seconds when Dan Harris turned the ball into his own net but parity was restored by Tom Haw on 18 minutes. Cameron Gray put United back in front almost immediately after the restart before a Scott Litchfield brace and one from Ian Marley sealed the win.

There were two goals apiece for Luke Greaves and George Simpson for Mansfield Hosiery Mills as they overcame Netherfield Albion 5-2 while Selston Reserves beat Ruddington Village 3-1 on Friday night. The NSL Junior Cup got underway with one of the main upsets being Division Two AFC Top Valley knocking out Wollaton Reserves from Division One. Joe Gunn scored two on his return to the side and Kane Pearson also notched twice as Top Valley maintain their unbeaten start to the season. AFC Clifton also knocked out higher ranked opposition as it took until the latter stages of extra time for them to secure a 3-2 win against Southwell City Reserves. Other matches went with the form book as Kimberley Miners Welfare won 2-0 at Newark Flowserve Reserves, Awsworth Villa prevailed 4-0 at Ravenshead Reserves and Radford Reserves knocked out Sneinton Town 8-1, including two goals each for Rachidou Akpo, Antony Edwards and Emmanuel Nduka. In an all-Division Two encounter, a Sam Dunstan hat-trick helped Ruddington Village Reserves dispatch Kirton Brickworks Reserves 7-0. In the league in Division Two, Barrowby won 3-1 at Gedling Southbank Reserves and Keyworth United Development won 2-1 against Bingham Town Reserves. Elston United are still searching for their first points as they lost 4-2 to Nottingham Community while Robin Hood Colts saw off Cotgrave Reserves 6-0. Cotgrave and Gedling Southbank kick off the weekend’s action in the Nottinghamshire Senior League Premier Division when they meet at Woodview on Friday night. Gedling have picked up just the one point so far this season whereas Cotgrave are looking to break into the top four.
On Saturday, Awsworth Villa will attempt to regain top spot as they head to Greenwich Avenue to face Stapleford Town. It won’t be an easy task, however, as Stapleford have won all three of their matches so far. Another team with a 100% record, but from five matches, are Southwell City. They visit the Harvey Hadden Stadium to play a Bilborough Town side that are missing a number of first teamers although they have signed Cardell Labban from Radford as cover. After losing to Wollaton in midweek, AFC Dunkirk will try to make amends as they head to Butt Field to take on Bingham Town. The hosts will want to arrest their two game losing run.

Adam Forry and James Forbes were the Woodthorpe scorers, Dan Phillips with The Reds’ reply. Bridgford United are level on points with the top two but have played one game more.

In a game that could have gone either way, Sandiacre Town eventually triumphed 3-2 at Bingham Town. Jordan Leonardi put Sandiacre ahead before they squandered a chance to double the lead as Harry Haywood in the Bingham goal saved a penalty. The home side then equalised on the stroke of half time via Chris Bradford’s head. Early in the second period Michael Carpenter gave Bingham the lead only for Jordan Smith to equalise for Sandiacre with their second spot kick.
