It’s as you were at the top of the Black Dragon Badges South division. A goal after just 2 minutes from Sean Gregory proved enough for Selston at South Normanton, who will be rueing a missed penalty on the half hour. Some resolute defending by the visitors kept the Shiners at bay in an entertaining encounter.
Second placed Eastwood Community remain a point behind the leaders as they won another hard fought game against Keyworth United at Platt Lane. The first half was goalless but came to life after the interval, Rory Smith putting Eastwood ahead on the hour. Keyworth levelled on 65 minutes through Richard Whyman, but the visitors took the points thanks to two penalties on 74 and 86 minutes, both converted by Chay Betteridge.
Mickleover RBL were also 3-1 winners at Pinxton with Jamie Sleigh (2) and Abidemi Lamina on target for the Legion, while Joe Riley scored Pinxton’s goal.
