Maltby Main and Rossington Main both recorded home wins to get their respective Northern Counties East League campaigns off to a perfect start.
Armthorpe Welfare, though, slipped to a 2-0 defeat at Athersley Recreation in Brian Johnstone’s first game in charge as permanent manager.
New Maltby player boss Brian Cusworth netted a hat trick in his side’s impressive 4-2 win over Heanor Town.
Scott Maughan and Brandon Fallon (2) fired Rossington to a 3-2 success against league new boys Dronfield Town.
But Armthorpe’s Steve Garner missed a penalty and was later sent off in his team’s 2-0 reverse at Athersley.
