Teams in the top two divisions played their opening legs last weekend, with plenty of goals.

CRC 1st beat Hillmorton 3-1, with goals from Samuel Brake, Josh Banton and Aaron Dawes. Bleu McNeil scored the consolation for Hillmorton.

In Division Two, Braunston won their 1st leg, 3-1 over Caldecott Arms. And in the other tie, Jimmy Ward came back to haunt his old club with a brace, and Jordan Devos hit Jolly Abbot’s third goal against a very lacklustre Bar 8 FC.
