One of the league’s top goal-scorers Elliot Holmes gave Railway a head-start with the opener.

Dan Thirkell doubled the lead and many might have thought it was game, set and match Railway.

But two quick-fire early second half strikes from Ben Donoghue and Alfred Thompson levelled proceedings before Sheppard popped up with the winner.

Three wins out of four, not a bad start for Forgione and Worsbrough.

Nostell Miners Welfare centurion Jamie Allsop

Left-back Jamie Allsop celebrated his 100th appearance for leaders Nostell Miners Welfare in the best possible way as Ian Walker’s side destroyed Teversal in a 4-1 away win.

Ash Bell gave Glasshoughton their latest win

Perennial early season strugglers Glasshoughton Welfare continued their fantastic opening bat with a third win in four after Ash Bell’s first half penalty earned a 1-0 success over Retford FC.
