Great start to the season for Brett Marshall's revamped Retford United, a solitary Baz Paine goal enough for the North Notts outfit. Carl Halsam was on the mark twice for Shirebrook as they won at Askern Villa. Rudy Funk was at his Daughter's wedding so didn't see his Scarborough team beat Parkgate 4-2, but 515 spectators did! The only downside to the day was Teversal's 5-0 drubbing at home to Rossington Main.
