Russell Roofing Premier Division:
The struggles continue for the four sides at the wrong end of the Premier Division table. Khalsa and Queen Eleanor made lengthy journeys to Heyford and Medbourne respectively, but both came home empty-handed.  Paul Currier and Matt Morrissey both netted for Heyford as they claimed a 2-1 win. Rob Mobsby and Kevin Fisher were the Medbourne marksmen, as they accounted for Eleanor by the same margin. Basement boys Milton ended up on the wrong end of a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Kislingbury. Liam Butcher netted twice for the visitors.
Normal service also continued at the top of the table. Derek Simmons scored the third of Weldon’s goals as they entertained near-neighbours Corby Pegasus, running out 3-1 winners. Harborough stay second with a 1-0 away win over Moulton. Brixworth and Roade shared the points with a 2-2 draw. 

Keystone Roofing Supplies Division 1:

Veteran Richard Chaffer netted the sixth, his first goal of the season. Ringstead meanwhile defeated Stanion 6-2. Alex Wills grabbed a hat-trick and Danny Tarr a brace for the visitors. Craig Misciali scored a consolation brace for the hosts. The result means that Ringstead replace Drayton Grange in top spot after their surprise 3-1 reverse at home to Kettering Nomads. Spratton’s search for a first point of the season goes on for another week although they ran visitors Finedon Volta close. In the end however Andy Griffin’s effort proved decisive as Volta took the points with a 3-2 victory. The Earls Barton – Kingfisher tie ended goalless.

Rothenberger Tools Division 2:
Bective continue to slide towards the foot of the table as Danesholme did the double over them. Stout defending kept the visitors at bay, despite Carl Juzyk’s effort, but a brace from Carl Staunton set the home side on the way to a 4-1 win. Three of the four teams below Bective were in action, but they could not take advantage as all slumped to home defeats. Great Doddington were on the receiving end of the heaviest defeat, shipping five without reply to Gretton. Matty Graham and George Donnelly both scored twice to move their side into double figures in points. A Jake Websy double helped Islip sink Wollaston Victoria 4-1, while a double from Matt Judge proved the difference for Ranelagh who defeated Ristee 5-3. Jamie Smith struck all of Burton United’s goals as they defeated Orchard Park 3-2. Clipston moved third in the table after winning 3-1 at home to Grammarians. Russ Eggleton netted twice for the hosts.

Division 3:
Dainite have the dubious distinction of being the second side to concede 50 goals after being thrashed 10-1 away to Ise Lodge. The bulk of the damage was caused by Luke Churchill, Sam Cope and James White who all scored two goals. James Jameson also claimed two goals as Wellingborough WMC claimed the points, and more importantly the bragging rights with a 3-2 win over rivals Saxons. Wilby’s Jethro Hoy was another to score twice as his side defeated Hillmorton 5-2.
At the opposite end of the table Staverton could be forgiven for thinking that the footballing gods have truly turned their faces from them. In ordinary circumstances scoring five goals would secure the win. These however were anything but ordinary. Despite a hat-trick from Jo Kasonga, Staverton went down 8-5 to Corby Locomotives.  Wilbarston also suffered from the capricious nature of fate as they went down 1-0 to Corby Eagles. An Eagles corner was taken up by the wind and ‘keeper Paul Cooper could only push it into his goal.

Division 4:
Alastair Foot, Andrew Cadman and Chris Langsford all scored to upset high-flying AFC Wymington 3-0, who now slip to fourth. A 2-2 draw for Kingswood away to Yardley United was enough to move them fourth. Damon Burton struck in the second half to deny the Corby side the win.  Corby Talisman are the biggest beneficiaries moving second after a 5-2 win over Kennedys. Darren Harrison and Luke McCauley scooped four of the goals between them.  Ryan Grant was the pick of the marksmen as Long Buckby Ravens comfortably dispatched Higham Dragons 4-0 to open up a nine-point gap at the top. FC Higham moved above their rivals, with a 1-0 win away at Kettering Park Rovers.  Marcus Mabbut opened the scoring for Walgrave Amber who condemned Corby Hearth to a tenth league defeat on the spin with a 4-0 score line.

Reserve Division 1:
Missed chances cost Blisworth dear as they tasted defeat for the first time this season. Opponents Wollaston opened the scoring from the spot, and in doing so became the first team to score against Blisworth this season. Ryan Yates pulled one back but his side hit the self destruct button, going down to nine men, before Wollaston nicked it late on with their only clear-cut chance of the game. Brixworth and Stanion both took advantage of the defeat to move above Blisworth in the table. Kieran Flower’s goal gave Brixworth a share of the points at home to second-placed Heyford, while Stanion saw off Finedon Volta 2-1. Charlie Wright netted two for Queen Eleanor, but it proved to be no more than a consolation as his side went down 7-2 at home to Orchard Park. Medbourne hammered Ringstead 11-0
