PREMIER DIVISION

It was top against bottom when Queniborough took on Asfordby and was always going to be a difficult match. Queniborough started with a positive attitude, for 20 minutes Queniborough stuck in there and held Asfordby to a 0-0 draw but Asfordby kept coming and eventually broke Queniborough down. Queniborough's new signing Tom Victory pulled one back for Queniborough to make the score 2-1, Queniborough looked back in the game but by half time Queniborough were down 5-1. With no substitutes, injuries caused problems for Queniborough. Heads dropped and the home side played the worst football they have played all season. Asfordby walked the second half and finished the game 11-1. Second placed Quorn made the trip to Westfield. Westfield gave a good account of themselves in a first half where they enjoyed a lot of possession, but were unable to convert this into goals. The second half was a tight affair, with both defences on top. Dominic Hancox was Westfield's Player of the Match, playing out of position in central defence. A neat move led to a great chance for Ryan Brightwell, but his shot from close range slid agonisingly wide of the Quorn goal, as Westfield continued to attack. However it was Quorn who took the lead after 75 minutes with a well taken breakaway goal When Simon Ogilive finished a good move, Westfield thought they had equalised soon after, through Chris Gilmore, but his shot was unluckily ruled out for an apparent handball. With only minutes left Danny Flynn's overhead kick clipped the post, and this proved to be the final chance in a very close game.

Mowbray flew out the blocks quickly with a high tempo and played some good football. Before the half hour mark Rangers found the Tenant net three times and were deservedly comfortably in front. Allexton hit back through Freestone but it was all very short lived as Rangers stepped it up once more and regained their three goal advantage which made a half time score of 4-1 to the home team. First half was obviously all Mowbray and second half it turned as Tenant Fought back with three goals during the 45 minute period. Luke Atkin, Nathan Battu and Liam Green all finding the net for the visitors and the home team scored through Daniel Maddock, Chris Pope, Martin Widdowson and Patrick Firminger. Kingsway managed a 3 -1 home win over Goals from Ben Jarvis and two from Tom Mansfield,

Loughborough Dynamo got through to the next round of the league cup this week when they won their game against Market Bosworth 3-1, although the score difference could have been a lot higher if Dynamo's shots on goal had gone in. The first half saw goals from Loughborough's Dan Jelley and Tom Slaughter. Market Bosworth also hit the back of the net when they were awarded a free kick just outside the box. Tom Bates added Dynamo's 3rd just after the restart, and although there were no more goals there were several chances missed. 3-1 the final score. Melton Foxes eased into the second round beating Glenfield United 10-2.The first goal came after seven minutes when Joey Hopkins ran through the Glenfield defence and hit a great shot that the keeper could only push out to Aaron Shaw who scored Excellent work from Will Keightley on the right set up Joey Hopkins who scored number two off the underside of the bar. Scott Gathercole converted a free kick to make it three nil at half time. Will Keightley beat three players near the corner flag and set up Joey Hopkins to score the fourth. The fifth goal came from a quickly taken corner, will Keightley deservedly scoring with a twenty yard screamer. Aaron Shaw scored the sixth from a Jack Woodhall pass and soon completed his hat-trick latching onto a long goal kick from Andy Botham. Glenfield scored a penalty before Jack Woodhall turned just outside the area and lobbed the Glenfield keeper to make it eight one. Glenfield got another goal back when a ball from the left crept in at the back post. Mark Tinsley took Foxes into double figures scoring twice late on.

UNDER 16 LEAGUE CUP
There were no shocks in the first round of the cup with all premier teams making it into the next round , Aylestone Park struggling in the league found there form to put nine goals past Quorn Juniors ,Tyler Sibson scoring five goals his first for the club making a man of the match contribution with the other goals coming from winger Alex Keyworth Aaron Smith , midfielder Joe Henton and county captain Reece Nyszczota , Loughborough Dynamo ran out comfortable winners by six goals to nil against a ten-man Beaumont side on a day more reminiscent of mid-summer than late October. For long periods of the game Beaumont appeared to have twelve men instead of ten but eventually the extra man and Loughborough's passing began to take its toll. The hat-trick from Major was punctuated by goals from Bennett, Munaim and Morris and, but for some fine saves from the Beaumont keeper and a goal line miss from Bennett which seemed to defy the laws of physics, the total could have been much higher. Dynamo started brightly and had chances from the first minute but it wasn't until the eighth minute that Major got onto the end of a sharp cross from the influential Scott on the left. On twenty-eight minutes Bennett followed up from mid-field with a ferocious drive from just outside the area to make it two nil. The second half started as the first had finished with Bennett and O'Mara breaking through only to be thwarted by the quickly advancing Beaumont keeper. Munaim made it three on fifty-three minutes with a deftly flighted shot over the advancing defence just out of reach of the keeper. The introduction of the rehabilitated Lidwell on fifty eight minutes made an instant impact when he lifted a ball over the Beaumont midfield and Major, in slow motion, controlled the ball on his chest, dropped it onto his knee, took a touch on the right foot and then sent a volley into the keeper's top left hand corner to make it four. Lidwell provided the pass that split the Beaumont defence for Morris to make it five on sixty eight minutes and Morris could have had a second on seventy six but unselfishly passed to Major to complete a memorable hat-trick. Rothley only had 10 men and we came from 1 nil behind to 3-1 up, then went 4-3 down. With about 5 minutes to go Jake Harrison scored a brilliant goal in the top right hand corner that hit the stanchion bar. This made it 4-4. After 10 minutes each way extra time the score remained the same. Our stand-in goal keeper (Alex McLugash) saved two of the five penalties and ended up scoring the winning penalty. And although Alex McLugash won the Man of the Match the whole team played their socks off. The match was very entertaining and stomach churning during the penalties. Countesthorpe were made to fight against Oadby owls Countesthorpe continued their recent good form, but were made to work hard to earn their passage into the next round. Missing several key players, Countesthorpe were pushed all the way on a difficult playing surface, chances were limited in the first half as the game developed into a physical scrappy midfield tussle. Athletic settled in the second half and began to create chances but the Owls always posed a threat on the break, with 15 minutes remaining Tom Weaver volleyed home a Danny Jenno knock down from a well flighted corner. Soon after Oadby old boy Matt Bizley finished a neat passing move to secure a place in the next round. Narborough completed a comprehensive win over Birstall United, the home side was quick out of the blocks and Sajan Patel opened the scoring before Connor Bennett doubled the lead with a strike from the edge of the box. Patel then bagged another 3 goals to take his personal tally to four and making the half-time score 5-0. Into the second half and Jack Boyd, David Whitmore and Matt Barrington added goals to make the final score 8-0.Sileby town juniors progressed to the next round of the cup with a comfortable 4 - 0 away win at Ibstock youth united. Sileby town scored their first goal from a twenty yard Jack Dodsley free kick. Sileby kept the pressure on and were rewarded when Tim Carr scored to put Sileby two up with a powerful header direct from a corner. Ibstock competed well but they fell behind further when Lewis Maxfield netted after the Ibstock keeper dropped the ball at the strikers feet to make the score 3-0 at half time. The second half continued in the same vein as the first with Sileby town in the driving seat. Sileby town secured a 4-0 final scoreline when Sileby Town's man of the match Matt North was sent through to coolly lob the advancing Ibstock goalkeeper. Gaunt youth paid the price for missed opportunities when Wigston Rangers beat them 3 - 2 with both teams playing some excellent stuff. Wigston took the lead on 18 minutes when Luke Gell picked up a loose ball to fire home on 38 minutes Tom Hill laid a ball to Shaun Rowley who scored a neat goal off the post. In the second half Gaunt took the game to Wigston and on 49 minutes pulled one back with a neat goal from Callum Mewi. On 56 minutes they drew level with a stunning goal from Kieran Hewitt, 3mins later Harold Giwa-Amu put Wigston in front again after a Shaun Rowley header was laid into his path. Syston Town completed the biggest win of the day with a 12 - 0 white wash over Enderby 2000, fellow premier team St Andrews scrapped past Leicester Nirvana 2 - 1 .
