Cotgrave have now gone five games without a win after they went down 4-0 to AFC Dunkirk.

Beeston Rylands ran their Premier Division opponents close as it took extra-time and penalties for Kimberley Miners Welfare AFC to eventually triumph. It was 1-1 at 90 minutes with Lee Fowler netting for Beeston, Aaron Russell for Kimberley. Fowler’s second of the game looked to be the winner but Corey Cresswell struck in the 120th minute to take the tie to penalties. Lewis Buxton saved Beeston’s first three attempts, before their fourth hit the post, meaning Kimberley’s two on target efforts were sufficient to see them through.

Bingham Town were a little more comfortable as they dispatched Bilborough United 5-1. Mike Jepps and Tom Spencer got two apiece alongside a Grant Hutchison strike for Bingham, Joel Buxton with United’s consolation.

A first half Jack Wood effort was enough to see Basford United Community past Kirton Brickworks and a Michael Attard goal was all that separated his Newark Flowserve side and FC Cavaliers.
