Sunday 30th October

Josh Parfitt scored all three FC Utd of Bolsover goals in their 3-0 win against FC Brimington, a victory that maintained their four point lead at the top of NAPIT ONE. Brimington battled bravely but they, like all of Utd's previous opponents have found Utd to formidable ones. Creswell Black Diamond welcomed Clowne Wanderers to their Fox Green home and duly beat them by three goals to nil, Jordan Claxton, Richard Norman and Ross Whitehead on target for Diamond.
FC Britannia continued their winning start to the season thanks to a Nathan Whitehead hat trick in a 6-2 victory against Wingerworth BMB. Ben Wilson gave Wingerworth the lead after just three minutes with an audacious chip over home keeper James Bradbury. As both sides struggled to get an upper hand in the match it was Britannia who levelled after twenty-seven minutes, Wingerworth struggling to clear the ball from a dangerous position, Whitehead driving home a vicious strike from fifteen yards. On the half hour mark Wingerworth were awarded a penalty and it was Tom Poole who sent the Britannia keeper the wrong way but also missed the target to keep the scores level at 1-1 as we went into the break.
Within eight minutes of the re start Wingerworth did regain the lead Poole’s free kick was guided in by Ryan Illingworth. There was very little between the two sides now and the equaliser came on sixty-eight minutes when Whitehead again fired home at the back post across Topham into the far corner. With Wingerworth players upset that the goal had not been disallowed for offside they lost their discipline which resulted in Ryan Booker being shown a red card and as it all looked to have calmed down Poole joined Booker in the dressing room as he too was dismissed by the referee. The two player advantage was now proving a game winner and in the seventieth minute Jason Foster gave FC Britannia the lead for the first time with a neat finish. Three goals were then scored in four minutes, Whitehead turned supplier with a cross off the left for DeGirlamo to finish on eighty-seven minutes. Two minutes later it was 5-2 when Jamie Simpson did the hard work to set up Josh Fields to drive home and the scoring was completed on ninety minutes when Whitehead secured his hat trick, finishing with a neat shot past Topham in the visitors goal.

In TWO mid-table Renishaw Rangers brought to an end the Britannia Rose one hundred percent start to the season to a dramatic end as they beat them by two goals to nil, Aaron Newman and Adam Sydall's goals doing the damage. Renishaw MW didn't fare as well as Rangers as they were beaten by a goal to nil scored by Carl Gallagher for victorious opponents Hollingwood Athletic. Ollie Wood's two goals helped Dronfield Victoria to a narrow 3-2 win at Pilsley Community whilst Crown Killamarsh were beaten 2-1 by visitors Clowne Wanderers Reserves.

Something had to give at the foot of THREE as Matlock Town Wanderers took on Black Swan in the Matlock/Ashover derby with Wanderers point being the only one accrued by either side in the seasons previous fixtures. In the event it was Swan's Tom Jones who had something to sing about as he scored a hat trick in a 5-0 win for Swan, Matt Jowcy and George Walker adding goals four and five. Meanwhile at the the other end of the division Grassmoor Sports remain top after beating Red Lion Whitt Moor by the odd goal in five in a tight game, Andy Woolvern scoring twice for Sports, Ash Walters once. Josh Barrow was in fine form for New Inn Tupton, scoring four times in a 9-4 victory over Brimington Utd. Matt Towndrow added two more, Kieran Marsh, Alan Hurt and Steve Miller one each.

Bolsover Town took on Furnace Hill Hurricanes in FOUR and were beaten for the first time this season. Hurricanes with a wealth of experience in their side were just too strong for Town. Jack Wynn, James Senior and Leigh Crofts for Hurricanes cancelled out Charles Oglesby's goal for Town. AFC Castle took on Leaders Brimington Ut Shoes for the second time in seven days and it was a case of history repeating itself as they were beaten for the second time in a week by the Shoes for whom Mark Mowbrey scored twice, Andrew Moseley going one better to score three. Shaun Byrne and Craig at Tromans scored for Spartans as they edged out AFC North Wingfield by the odd goal in three, Whitecotes Wanderers beat Club FC 3-1, Brown twice and Megyesi, and Brimington Arms, thanks to goals from Hodgkinson, Taylor, Nash and Watkinson beat Bridge 4-2.

FIVE LEADERS Glapwell Gladiators were looking to maintain their un-beaten start to the season when they took on Barlow Kingston Rovers. Gladiators began brightly but it was Rovers who drew first blood through Dan Nowak. A fine individual effort from Dave Canning drew Gladiators level however Rovers were ahead when Nowak added his second and went further ahead as Ritchie Yoshikawa scored. Yoshikawa made it four before Scott Whitehouse added a fifth. Shellshocked Gladiators scored a second but it was Rovers who claimed an excellent win. The wheels on the bus go round and round the song says but the wheels on the Holmewood Park Rangers bus have fallen off after they suffered their third consecutive defeat after winning their first four games. The third of the three defeats came at the hands of Newbold Community Football Training, Ant Brown, Luke Hemstock and Dan Hodson scoring in a five goal game.
