Week ending 2nd September by Mason Norton

At the top of the table, Desford & Caterpillar remain two points clear, and remain the only side with a 100% record, five wins from five, after coming from behind to win 2-1 at Hathern. Niall Henry gave the hosts an early lead, who dominated possession in the first half, only for Desford to catch them on the counter and equalise just before the break through Connor McGahan. Desford then slowly took control of the game as the second half went along, and scored the winner ten minutes from full-time through a header from Will Dunlop.

Firmly on their tails in second are Allexton & New Parks, who have now improved their goal difference to +20, this time racking up another big win, 5-1 at home to Sileby Town, having raced into a 4-0 lead at half-time. Zak Adams scored a brace, Ayrton Carter-Fell, Ryan Charles and Lewis Hurst provided the rest of the goals, Chris Shaw providing a second-period consolation for Sileby. Ellistown stay third, on the same number of points as ANP, two points behind Desford, after winning their local derby against Ashby Ivanhoe Knights 2-1, Tom Vyce and Shea Bates scoring for Ellistown, a late comeback for Knights almost enough to get them their first points of the campaign, but ultimately not enough- Knights remain bottom.

Meanwhile, the only change to the morning's top four saw Aylestone Park Reserves and AFC North KIlworth change places. North Kilworth moved up a place after a 5-1 win at home to Barrow Town thanks to goals from Reece Hookway (2), Tyler Garrard, Grantas Gricius and Joe Storer, Barrow remaining in the bottom two. Park, meanwhile, tipped up after a 2-1 defeat at Burbage & Huncote, Connor Beasley scoring both goals for Burbage, Aaron Preston for Park.

At the other end of the table, Knights and Barrow form the bottom two, with Friar Lane & Epworth ahead of Barrow on goal difference only after a 1-0 defeat at Magna 73, Arjuna Govia scoring the only goal of the game after two minutes. FC Khalsa moved up the table slightly after a 0-0 draw at Cottesmore, swapping places with Thurnby Rangers, who were blown away by a first-half display at Highfield Rangers, who scored all the goals in the first half in a 4-0 scoreline, Liam Bloxham hitting a hat-trick, Seon Shippley with the other goal.
