A great day in the Buildbase FA Vase for the Central Midlands League as three teams won through to the first round proper. One league representative was guaranteed as Hucknall Town faced Eastwood Community at Watnall Road. A close match was anticipated but on the day the visitors were comfortable winners by four goals to one. A Joe Butler opener on 23 minutes was followed by an own goal ten minutes later and the writing was on the wall for Hucknall by half time as Paddy Webb added a third. Butler’s second in the 72nd minute ensured there was to be no comeback though Adam Nelson’s penalty ten minutes from time did put the hosts on the scoresheet.
Sherwood Colliery travelled to a former CML side in Sandiacre Town. After both teams had gone close the home side took a 34th minute lead from the penalty spot, Dale Gilliatt levelling with a beautifully timed volley a minute from the break. Sherwood were the better side in the second half and went ahead through Jamie York with 73 minutes played. As Sandiacre pushed forward in search of the equaliser, the Wood had several chances to put it to bed but had to wait until the sixth minute of added time before Liam Theakstone to give the visitors a 3-1 win.
Pinxton also won away as they took on another former Central Midlands side, step 6 Retford United at Cannon Park. Pinxton led with a Liam Green goal at the interval and although Retford levelled in the second half, Jay Cooper struck to put the Derbyshire side into the next round by two goals to one.

There was a full programme of matches in the Black Dragon Badges North division. All eyes were on the clash between the two teams with 100% records as Harworth Colliery took on Clay Cross Town at Scrooby Road. Something had to give and it was the Millers who headed home with their record intact after a 3-2 win. Lee Clay was the hat trick hero for the visitors opening the scoring just before the half time whistle. Lewis Francis made the scores level just after the restart but Clay added two more before a Lee Holmes penalty reduced the arrears.
Retford take over at the top of the table following a 3-0 win at Staveley MW reserves. Luke Tong with two and Martin Woodhead were the scorers, Staveley not helped by playing the second half with ten men.

Bradley Howe struck twice for Dinnington in the first 12 minutes, Ryan Rushen reducing the margin four minutes later.

The second half was less frenetic, the only goal coming from Collingham’s Jackson Buckthorpe to earn his side a point.
Two goals in the 38th and 59th minutes by Askern’s Luke Williams were enough to take the points from Lincoln Moorlands while Phoenix picked up their second maximum of the season by beating Dronfield Town reserves 2-1 at Brinsworth. Adam Houghton and Liam Colclough got the Phoenix goals while James Savage netted for Dronfield.
Thorne Colliery came from behind to beat Newark Town 4-2 at Moorends. A first minute own goal put Thorne ahead but Newark equalised with a Rikki Peterson goal on 34 minutes and went ahead through Callum Ranyard with 69 played. Thorne fought back, Kevin Lynch equalising in the 77th minute, Chris Hancock putting them ahead with five to play and Lynch rounding things off deep into stoppage time.
