There were some big wins on the opening weekend of the season with four teams scoring five or more goals. Belstone, who were runner's up last season, ran in seven goals against Hinton with Kaci Henry and Brad Walsh netting hat-tricks. Last season's Champions Bush Hill Rangers carried on where they left off with a 5-1 win over Leverstock Green Development. 

There were four sides promoted from Division One - Apsley Argyle had a brilliant opening day with a 0-5 win at Buntingford Town with London Lions Development beating Baldock Town Reserves 2-1. Lemsford drew 2-2 at new club Everett Rovers.

There has been a good number of player movement at Baldock Town Reserves following the departure of their management team - Only Brandon Owen (11 games), Ryan Perkins (24) and Marcus Wilson (1) played for them last season in their starting XI at London Lions. 

Another hat-trick hero was former London Colney and Stotfold player Eben Mbona of Hatfield Town who netted three in their 5-2 win over Sandridge Rovers.
