LUTTERWORTH Athletic are the early pacesetters in Division One, leading the way on goal difference from four other teams with a perfect record three games into the season.
A goal from Alex Vineall just before the break was cancelled out by Stapenhill’s Cameron Steele only for the hosts to wrap up a 2-1 victory with a late penalty from Alex Webb. The game was not short of incident with both sides having a player sent off.
Gornal Athletic also made it three wins on the bounce as they saw off FCV Grace Dieu 2-1 at Garden Walk. But they had to do it the hard way after Cornelious Olajide-Oriowo had given the visitors a half-time lead from the penalty spot. Dan Hadley levelled on 63 minutes with Treveay Wright netting the winner two minutes later.
Northfield Town’s 3-1 defeat of Leicester St Andrews maintained their perfect start. Two goals from Romano Graham and another from Maradoche Mipra handed Town a handsome interval lead before Matt Dennis responded.
Cain Beckett and substitute Aidan Neal scored for Birstall United in their 2-0 defeat of Birmingham OJM while the other team with a perfect start, Chelmsley Town, were 2-1 winners at Kirby Muxloe – Sam Kayode and Kyle Hayden on the mark for the visitors and Tom Vyce scoring for Kirby.
There was plenty going on at Coalville Town who edged out visitors Coventry Copsewood 4-3, Ryan Green with the added time winner. Freddy Webb bagged a brace and Ryan Seal the other for the Leicestershire side who finished with ten men while Sean Kavanagh, Alfie Smith and Will Boden were on the mark for Copse.
Heather St John’s were also among the goals as they ran out 4-2 winners at Ingles with Jack Hession and Kyle Jardine scoring two goals apiece. Bradley Coleman and Mac Armstrong were the Ingles scorers.
Goals from Umaru Saho, Drew Tickets and Callum North helped Cradley Town to a 3-1 win at Holwell Sports who had led through Sahil Bagavan while GNG Oadby Town beat Anstey Town by the same scoreline – Logan Aston’s effort was scant consolation for the visitors after two goals from Ryan Charles and one from Rian Patel had secured the victory.
A solitary Essam Mohamed goal was enough for Bustleholme at home to Saffron Dynamo while Boldmere Rangers saw off visitors AFC North Kilworth 2-0 thanks to an overhead kick from Pierre Phillips and a late Lucas Edwards effort.
