Division Two
Harts 2 Diss Greyhound 4
Diss Greyhound came back from two goals down to claim an opening day victory.
New midfielder Max Lock halved the deficit with a superbly taken penalty, and Ed Bailey drew things level with a near-post header.

Dave Atkinson finally got a debut goal, burying his attempt from six yards, following some sharp work from Simon Willingham and Bailey.
Atkinson completed the scoring, slotting home at his second attempt.

Redgrave Reserves 2 Bungay Reserves 4
This result will be a wake up call for Redgrave.
Bungay were last year's bottom team but Redgrave knew things were going to be hard with a depleted side.
A lacklustre first half from Redgrave saw them concede three goals.
After some strong words at half-time, Redgrave went out with more intent and soon pulled a goal back when Ron Bloomfield netted, after good work by Kyle Lynn.
A great one-handed save by man of the match Martin Buckenham kept Redgrave in the contest and from the resulting clearance the ball found its way to Lynn to set up Bloomfield to score his second.
With Redgrave pushing forward, Bungay scored a crucial fourth on the break.
* In Division Two, a brace from Luke Manning could not stop Fressingfield losing their first game 4-2 at home to New Buckenham.
