Queniborough had a chance to kick their season into shape then today was it. a change in formation from manager Ian Tomlinson following the previous results, seen the team finally find their feet. Queniborough started excellently and dominated the game for the first half hour. Tom Meredith forced an early acrobatic save from Wigston's in form goalkeeper. It was only after 36 minutes when goalkeeper and Captain Simon Coulthurst drilled a back pass strait to the feet of Wigston's unmarked attacker. He didn't need anymore invitation than that to slot the ball away in the bottom corner. Just before the break centre half Jack Shaw cut across the attacker in the area to see Queniborough concede their fourth penalty in 4 matches. 2 sloppy goals before the break and Queniborough went off for the break under a lot of pressure. Manager Ian Tomlinson swapped it round slightly at the break and it looked promising. Midfielder Steve Mitchell fed striker Ford Taylor through to see him rocket the ball over the bar. Alongside him was Tom Meredith who later on found himself storming towards goal 1 against 1 and the goalkeeper reacted fantastically to stop the goal. Wigston scored again from sloppy defending from Queniborough from a corner and a toe seen the ball slotted home. Unlucky day for Queniborough on another day the score could of easily be turned round. The day will come for juniors. The final score being 3-0 to Wigston United.

PREMIER DIVISION
Syston Town are the leaders of the premier division with a 5 -0 thrashing away at Barrow Town, Mitch Williams led the way for Syston by scoring a brace the other goal scorers were Joe Danvers, Tom Elson and Dan Epworth. Mowbray Rangers remain second despite drawing a blank at home to Loughborough Dynamo; Dynamo came out on top by one goal to nil in a tense, claustrophobic affair played on a pitch that had more to do with philately than football at Melton Mowbray on Sunday. In a game with precious little football on display Cook scored the only goal of the game on sixty eight minutes, a Beckhamesque free kick from just outside the eighteen yard box which found the very top of the top right hand corner of the net to break the deadlock. Some uncharitable onlookers and teammates suggested that perhaps Cook was crossing not shooting but either way it was enough for a memorable victory. The pattern of the match emerged early in the first half with play squeezed into a congested midfield and both sides relying upon balls over the top for their attacking outlets. Some of the spectators needed neck braces at half time after having spent much of the first half gazing into the heavens looking for the ball amongst flocks of migrating birds. Scott and Morris on the left did manage to penetrate the well marshalled Mowbray defence on more than one occasion but didn't seriously threaten the Mowbray net. The second half saw Loughborough having more success at keeping the ball on the ground with O'Mara and Cook and Russell and Scott linking to create opportunities which were not converted and Morris continuing to press for weaknesses through the centre. Major and Sharma were thrown on for the last twenty minutes to add physical presence and on sixty-eight minutes Cook flighted a free kick beyond the Mowbray keeper's outstretched hand to take a deserved lead. This set up a tense last ten minutes. Mowbray pressed for the equaliser and came close to scoring when a throw in on the right saw the Loughborough defender turned and the shot across the goal rebound off the post and back across the goal where a Mowbray striker put the follow up wide of an empty net. While this wasn't pretty Loughborough have eked out a result away from home against a good side which had more to do with their application and commitment than their creative flair. Countesthorpe Athletic came away from Dorset avenue with a fine 3 points in a hard fought game. Aylestone Park had plenty of possession in the first half but failed to create a serious attempt on goal, whilst the visitors looked dangerous on the break. On the stroke of half time Countesthorpe were awarded a free kick 25 yards out, up stepped Danny Jenno to rifle a thunderbolt strike into the Aylestone net via a post. The home side continued to press in the second half, but with Tom Mason and Jenno in inspired form there was no way through, Tom Weaver and Aaron Murray took hold of the middle of the park and created the best chance of the game, only to see Matt Bizley narrowly drag his shot wide. Royce Rangers had a narrow home win against the unlucky Blaby and Whetstone by two to one with goals scored by the league top goal getter in Joe Halon (2). Saffron Dynamo came away from the home match with St Andrews with a 2 - 2 drew , Andrews spurning many chances and leading at half time 2 - 0 but in the second half a good rally from dynamo led to a draw Sam Becket and Joe Wright getting the home goals.
