On Tuesday Heanor Town Reserves pulled off an excellent 3-1 win away at Arnold Town. They took the lead from the penalty spot in the 16th minute, Alex Lynam the scorer, Chris Neilson equalising with half an hour played. The home side spurned a chance to take the lead with a second half penalty miss and were punished as Ewan Richardson put Arnold back in front on 55 minutes, Lynam converting his second penalty two minutes from time to complete the win.
Clifton All Whites Development pushed South Normanton Athletic all the way before going down 3-2 at Lees Lane. Henry Brooks opened the scoring for the Shiners, who were pegged back as Clifton scored through Ben Cooke and Sam Rothwell. An own goal put the home side on level terms who got the winner with a Sam Burrows goal.
