Sam Moses and Peter Sinclair scored for Nap, with Goodbourn (4), Matty Prudence (3) and Palmer bagging for the champions. Horsepigs sprung the first surprise by beating Maltings 3-1.

Reigning county junior cup winners FANG made their Division One bow with a hard fought 1-0 home win over 10-man England's Hope. William Burt, also making their top-tier debut, fell 2-1 to Gaywood Park Rangers. A Liam Docherty double put GPR ahead before Chris Girdlestone gave Burt a lifeline.

Relegated March Saracens made an emphatic return to Division Two by winning 11-1 at new boys River Lane. James Nelson notched for 'Lane, but goals from James Hazel (4), Steven Dickerson (3), Dayne Moore (2), Dan Smethurst and Paul Rowell saw March home.
