New signing Aaron Warrener also netted for the champions who next take on Peterborough Sports Development at home tomorrow (August 8, 7.45pm). The youthful Sports side, now managed by one of last season’s all-conquering Netherton side, Ryan Wood, started their campaign with an impressive 3-0 win at newly-promoted Long Sutton with Ryan Pratt scoring twice.

Big hitters Moulton Harrox and Whittlesey Athletic started with wins. Harrox out four past ICA Sports with Marcus Parry on target twice, while Jack Carter and Harry Jenkins scored for Whittlesey who pipped a much-improved Langtoft United side 2-1.

Tydd performed well to hold last season’s high-fliers Stamford Lions to a 1-1 draw, equalising with a penalty from Jake Clitheroe.
