After hitting double figures against Kiveton Miners Welfare in a friendly a few weeks ago the league fixture was a much closer affair with Dinnington having to come from behind to take the points. Rio Murray put Kiveton in front in the 59th minute and held the lead until the 79 minute mark when Nathan Jessop equalised from the penalty spot. Dinnington pinched the points in the final minute with a goal from Cam Evans . AFC Bentley are back on the winning trail travelling to Shirebrook to defeat Chesterfield Youth 3-0.

Hatfield Town’s match with Rossington Main Reserves was abandoned after 52 minutes due to a medical emergency with Callum Stockton and Mitch Wain having put Hatfield two up.

PREMIER SOUTH DIVISION

South Normanton’s reign at the top of the division lasted for just three days as a home defeat to Wirksworth Ivanhoe put them back to fourth place, a first half goal from Ryan Marchington proving the difference between the two sides.

The Mickleover derby resulted in a 3-0 win for RBL at Mickleover Reserves, the Legion keeping well up with the leading group thanks to goals from Josh Lee, Jordan Lee and Connor Livingstone’s penalty. A case of so near, so far, but some positive signs for Holbrook St Michaels as they search for their first points of the season. They lost by the odd goal in seven at Mansfield Hosiery Mills with goals from Sam Smithurst, Fynn Marshall and Micky Donn, the Millers shading it thanks to Elliott Nunn, Henry Brooks, Max Denton and Luke Greaves.

Tight games for the top three, with first against second at Blidworth, the leaders taking the points with a Toby Birch goal to edge past Ashland Rovers.

The final score was 4-3, Adam Brennan’s double and one apiece from Jack Sheldon and Ryan Turton, proving decisive, Charlie Lewis, Reuben Gosling and Riley Moore’s goals for Melbourne not quite enough.

COUNTY CUPS

A few County Cup tiest to clear up.

No joy for Punjab United as they lost 3-0 at Gresley Rovers. SJR Worksop were unfortunate to come up against Sheffield Senior Cup holders Emley who unsurprisingly won 11-0. Dearne & District Development won on penalties after a 1-1 draw with Wombwell Town reserves in the Sheffield Senior Trophy, Worksop removing Sheffield Medics 2-1 in the same competition. AFC Normanton will try for the fourth time to get their match with Furness Vale next Saturday.
