Mill Madrid are in their first season in the league's top flight and were looking to maintain that fine start, however it was Shirebrook who held the upper hand for long periods after Simon Johnson gave them an early lead.

Mill battled back bravely and eventually claimed the points after, with time running out, Ryan Cancellara levelled and Jamie Smith hit a second to give them a dramatic win.

Ant Lynam was in tremendous form for Clay Cross and Danesmoor MW in their clash with defending champions Doe Lea Villa, hitting all four of his side's goals in an emphatic 4-0 victory.

White Swan went one better in their meeting with Hollingwood, Pete Stubley grabbing a hat-trick in a 5-0 success, Martin Newman and James Senior scoring the other two.

Gary Parsons was another hat-trick man, his three goals proving to be enough to earn his side a narrow 3-2 win over Hady.

Two goals each from Lee Bradbury and Ian Hutchinson gave Brampton Victoria a 4-1 win over Hepthorne Lane whilst Grassmoor Sports and Tibshelf Town shared the points in a thrilling 3-3 draw at Barnes Park, Walters, Gore and Moore scoring for Sports, Harris 2 and Wilkinson for Town.

Ark Tavern beat Kelstedge 2-1 in the second division to go top, Kelstedge remaining bottom.

There was little to choose between the two sides but goals from Lakin and Waddoups saw Tavern shade it.

A rather less close game was the one between Clowne Wanderers and Lockoford.

In what has been a strange start for Wanderers, scoring double figures in their first game, then conceding double in their second, their third game saw them score seven without reply, Simon Straw leading the way with three goals, Hutchinson and Ball wading in with two apiece.
