NEWLY-promoted Division One team Holton-le-Cla can count themselves unlucky not to have come away with a share of the spoils after losing 1-0 to Humberston Quayside in the Grimsby, Cleethorpes and District Sunday League.

Both teams huffed and puffed in warm conditions on the opening day of the season.

Chances were few and far between. The best fell to Ryan Collins, who was denied by Holton's keeper Chris Chalk from point-blank range.

Quayside fielded five debutants with Tom Summers and Paul Smith in central midfield and Paul Jones and Ryan Collins leading the frontline.

But it was new boy Luke Pickering who stole the show with a stunning strike worthy of winning any game.

Holton rallied and their best chance was foiled by keeper Scott Drury when seasoned campaigner Matty Knight was slipped through one on one.

Elsewhere in this division, the Valiant carried on where they left off last season with a 4-1 victory against The Empire. On target for Valiant were Dale Mason (two), Nathan Emson and John Oglesby. Lee Darwood replied for Empire.

In Division Two, two goals apiece for Callum Day and Richard Simpson and a further goal for Perry Franklin saw Immingham Bluestone win 5-3 against Team Red Star.

Daniel McCann, Paul Parker and Joe Burns replied for Red Star.

Keelby Utd beat Healing 2-0 with goals from John and Matthew Conroy.

Promoted SW Steelers announced their arrival with a 5-1 win against Seacatch FC.

It was 0-0 at half-time, but new signing Tom Gibbins came on at half-time, scored with his first touch and went on to complete a hat-trick.

Other goals came from Josh Braid and Gaz Deakins. Mark Ellis replied for Seacatch.

In Division Three, Louth Town beat Clark Construction 7-3 with goals from Sam Hallett, Andrew Hunter (two), Rob McSpadden, Sean Kilmore and Sam Riddall (two).

Matthew Perry's goal for Old Clee was not enough as Drinksy Building Cricketers beat them 2-1.

No 2 Pub got off to an excellent start to the Division Four season with manager Chris Stamp jubilant after a comprehensive 6-0 win over Cleethorpes Town Pattesons.

Last year's double winners started from where they left off last season, playing some impressive quick-touch football.

No 2 took the lead midway through the first half after missing a host of early chances when Matthew Cope rounded the keeper after cutting inside the defender to slot home.

Pattesons replied by playing some good direct football but the No 2 Keeper Jason Steel was first to everything.

Early in the second half Nathan Heward cut in from the left to cross for Andrew Hargreaves to side-foot into the top corner.

Soon after, last season's top scorer, Rob Mair, added a quick brace with sharp finishing low past the despairing keeper.

No 2 were now rampant and full of confidence.

A poor clearance gave Steve Donner the chance to lob the keeper from 30 yards which he did with a superb finish.

No 2 brought on two new wide men who got straight into the action. Ian Fleming skipped past four Pattesons players only to shoot straight at the keeper.

No 2's final goal came with Rob Mair crossing the ball for debutant Lee Smith to smash home.

Elsewhere, Luke Moore scored both goals for Crows Nest who won 2-0 away to Caistor Rovers.

In Division Five, AFC Nitro got off to a good start by beating Immingham Town 7-3.

Nitro's goals were scored by Colin Winter (three), Stuart Sadler (two), Dan Bacon and Chris West. Dan Robinson (two) and Lee Tasker replied for Immingham.

Goals from Nathan Crooks, Anthony Jagger, Patrick Kershaw, Dale Brown and an own goal ensured Deportivo won 5-1 away to Healing 2nds (Tom Parker).

West Marsh beat AFC Cleethorpes 4-0 with goals from Jack Barley, Terry Petterson, Scott Ritchie and John Waugh.

In Division Eight, the newly re-formed Winn FC beat Turners Mortgages 3-0, with several of the original Winn FC players starting the game.

Turners started brightly with Winn not at the races for the first part of the game.

A couple of early chances fell to Turners, but they were unable to convert.

After 20 minutes, Winn began to settle with the back three of Rob Pearce, Wayne Cummings and Lee Howard getting an understanding between them going.

There was some good work on the left wing by Tom Winn, who was beginning to push Turners back, while the midfield trio of Andy Scott, Micky Burton and Andy Allott were creating some good chances for Tim Dales.

Just before half-time, a cross came over which Tom Winn won in the air and Burton poked the ball home to make the score 1-0 to Winn.

Winn got more into the game in the second half.

Scott and Allott made good challenges in midfield.

Allott had a good chance, shooting just wide but he made sure soon afterwards scoring from outside the area. Winn's keeper Tom Downes made some excellent saves to keep Turners at bay. The game was made safe when Tim Dales was played in and he fired the ball hard and low to make the final score 3-0.

East Marsh FC beat Laceby Arms 5-2 in a great game.

Marsh's first goal came after a minute, while in the second half, Marsh keeper Simon McMenemy saved a penalty. Paul Smith, Carl Taylor, Steve Wilkins and Ryan Woolliss were on target for East Marsh. Richard Sparrow and an own goal replied for Laceby.
