Given the current volume of players in the Sheffield & Hallamshire County Senior League Premier Division who were playing NCEL Football last season, we’re trialling round-up of results articles from the Premier Division.
Billy Goose scored a hat-trick to help Luke Forgione celebrate his first league win as manager of Houghton Main.
Ex-Worsbrough Bridge duo Joe Dungworth and Harry Steeple (2) also hit the target in the 7-3 victory at High Green Villas.
Another Worsbrough attacker Dan Palmer was the double scoring hero for Wakefield AFC who got their season up and running with the 4-0 battering of Oughtilbridge in front of 300 people.
Samuel Amissah hit the opener in the opening seconds and Palmer doubled the lead before half-time. Palmer struck again near the end.
Debutant substitute Mason Ruble, who also made an instant impact by setting Palmer up for his second, completed the scoring for Wakefield.
Enzo Guarini got two as Swinton Athletic put three past Davy’s FC without reply. Sam Hanna was also on score-sheet.
A fine effort from outside the penalty area from Aaron Brotherton was all Dodworth Miners Welfare needed in the solitary goal victory over Sheffield Town.
The only blow Dodworth took was losing young starlet Calan Rollinson, who is understood to have been under surveillance from NCEL clubs recently. Rollinson put his life on the line for Dodworth and had to be heroically carried off in the first half after sustaining bad, but accidental head injuries in an aerial challenge.
Kenan McKenzie-Gray was at the double for Ecclesfield Red Rose who impressively won 3-1 at Jubilee Sports. Carlton Carty was their other goal-scorer. Jordan Turner was Jubilee’s goal-scorer.
Brandon Whitfield scored Stocksbridge Park Steels reserves’ goal in the 3-1 defeat at Hepworth United.
