SYSTON TOWN 2 - 5 A C WIGSTON
AC Wigston started life in the Under 18 Premier Division in great style with a resounding win at old rivals Syston Town. An early strike from star striker Lewis Madelin gave Wigston a perfect start and when Dean Wade applied the finish to Madelin's cross ten minutes later it looked as though the points were already in the bag. The game took an unlikely turn when a mix up in the Wigston box resulted in a Syston penalty, which was converted expertly. The second half started well for Syston and they forced home a close range equaliser to give themselves real hope that they could go on to win the game. It was not to be though and Wigston re-grouped to take a firm grip on the remainder of the game. Madelin struck twice more to complete his hat-trick, the first a fantastic effort over the Syston keeper and to complete the scoreline substitute Nathan Clough volleyed home a twenty yarder for his first goal in more than a year. Syston's goals came from Oliver Grudgings and Luke Clarke.

PREMIER DIVISION
MOWBRAY RANGERS 3 0 AYLESTONE PARK
Mowbray Rangers played host to Aylestone Park in an entertaining open day fixture.
Rangers came out of the blocks quickest and opened the scoring with their very first attack, as Jack Harris looped his header over the advancing Johnson.
The remainder of the first half was fairly even with Aylestone having plenty of the ball in the centre of the pitch but not really troubling the back four of Lowe, Spawton, Maddock and Baker.
The home side continued to cause problems on the break and was unlucky not to add to their lead, whilst Aylestone's first decent chance, a well struck shot from Alex Keyworth was dealt with comfortably by Sam Collington.
The first part of the second half saw Aylestone dominate and Tom Orton must have though he had got his team back into it only to see his effort cleared off the line by Maddock.
Mowbray pushed on and when Ruddle picked the ball up 25 yards out he had only one thing in his mind as he buried the ball in the back of the net.
Liam Prenderville and Mark Cowling had caused all sorts problems for the visitor's defensive line up and got their just rewards with a well worked Goal.
From a free kick full back Lowe floated the ball into the area and Cowling flicked the ball on for Prenderville to volley home and seal the win.
SAFFRON DYN 1 - 1 SYSTON TOWN
First game of the season saw a tight game between two sides that finished last season on a high. Syston slightly shaded the first half and went up a goal to the good at half time through a penalty converted by Dominic Duffy just before the break. The second half saw Syston start on top but Saffron dominated the last twenty minutes and deservedly leveled when Ollie Barton finished off a fine move. Josh Kind had a chance to take the points for Saffron Dynamo but Denolm Hines made a fine save to keep things level.
ST ANDREW'S 2 - 0 LOUGHBOROUGH DYNAMO
With both teams looking to settle as quickly as possible the first 15 minutes was a scrappy affair with both defenses coming out on top. St Andrews settled first, setting up some great passes of set play between Hogan Smith, Nick Hatch and Craig Brooks. Within the first half an hour of the game St Andrews goal keeper Shailoh Tattersall cleared a goal kick, which caught Loughborough Dynamo goal keeper out, bouncing over his head for the first goal. Hogan Smith then latched onto a pass around the goal keeper making it 2-0
In the second half Loughborough Dynamos pushed forward, pressuring the St Andrews defence. With corner after corner Shailoh Tattersall and the back line showed outstanding commitment for St Andrews.
Loughborough Dynamo continued to break and came close on more than one occasion to score.
A quality game of football from two outstanding teams.

In the second half both teams upped their tempo, Wigston chasing an equaliser and Sileby trying to add to their tally. With ten minutes remaining Conor Simpson anticipated a miss kick by the Wigston centre half, to run through and round the keeper to score, only for the goal decision to be reversed.
