Premier League Champions Old Malton began the defence of their title with a comfortable 3-0 win at Nestle but there was no such luck for the two promoted sides, as Selby RSSC and Terrington Glory both suffered home defeats. Rowntrees last league success over Old Malton was in the opening fixture in August 2007 but a repeat was never on the cards as the Ryedale side bossed the game from early on, Simon Cooke put the Malton side in front after 15 minutes with Dean Nuttall making it 2-0 on 24 minutes. On the half hour Nuttall failed to add to their tally as he blazed a penalty high and wide but the win was confirmed in the second half through Danny Fogg. Terrington Glory matched visitors Dringhouses for 87 minutes in their Premier League debut but ‘Houses took the honours as Tom Bissett poked home the only goal of the game three minutes from time following a goal mouth scramble. Selby RSSC entertained Dunnington, last season’s s runners-up, for their first ever Premier League encounter and though the Selby side  showed an abundance of enthusiasm and energy they lost 4-1. A Rob  Hart header after 15 minutes separated the sides at the break before Jimmy Wilmoth and Mathew Playle made it 3-0 to Dunnington. Shane Caulkill reduced the arrears for Selby with Tom Richards completing the scoring. It was only the second time in 9 years that Dunnington have recorded a win in their opening league fixture.  Huntington,  who have not registered a league win at Wigginton since February 2008,  never looked like improving on that record after falling behind to a Matt Tiplady goal after just 18 minutes. Scott Stewart doubled the hosts lead before Eddie Clapham converted a penalty as the hosts led 3-0 at the break. The second period did not see any let up from Grasshoppers as they added further goals from Lee McQuade and Jamie Wilstrop as Wigginton won 5-0.  York RI chalked up their fifth consecutive win over Hamilton Panthers as Nick Hutchinson scored the only goal of the game as RI won 1-0.  Riccall Utd opened their points account at the first time of asking as they defeated Poppleton at home. Luke Berridge  cancelled out Tom Littlewood’s opener for the hosts before Adam Ferguson put Poppleton 2-1 in front but before the break Littlewood had doubled his tally for the afternoon and a Liam Brown effort saw Riccall take the lead for a second time. Ryan Watson and Wayne Brooke added second half goals fro Riccall as they won 5-2.
