​The Daniels have taken the step up to Southern League Premier Division Central standard in their stride with two wins and a draw in their first three matches.

Stamford were just five minutes away from a perfect start on Tuesday night, but hosts Royston found an equaliser as the Crows claimed their first point of the season.

Rob Morgan had fired second-placed Stamford in front in the 68th minute.

Stamford are back home at the Zeeco Stadium on Saturday when mid-table Berkhamsted are the visitors (3pm).

Spalding are many pundits' favourites to succeed Stamford as champions of the Northern Premier Midlands Division and the Tulips have certainly started well with a pair of two-goal wins to move joint-top of the table with Sporting Khalsa.

Second-half goals from Sam Cartwright and Jordan Graham secured a 2-0 home win over AFC Rushden & Diamonds on Tuesday.

Yaxley bounced back from a 1-0 weekend home loss to Coventry United with a 2-0 win over Godmanchester last night with goals from Ben Arnold and Ryley Nicholson-Barfoot.

Deeping Rangers have failed to win any of their first four Premier Division North matches after slipping to a 2-0 Tuesday defeat at home to Melton Town.
