NAC made it two wins from two with a 3-1 victory over Melling Victoria.

In Division One, Stand Park produced an impressive performance with an emphatic 8-2 win over MCA. Bar Du Fay picked up a point at Wynstay with a 2-2 draw as they started their season and Pivilion Athletic drew 2-2 in their match at home to McPort United.

In Division Two Platinum Menswear continued their good start to the 2012-13 campaign with a 2-1 win at Database.

Lanes End Athletic edged out Georges 4-3 in a seven goal thriller while Ambrose Ellis picked up their first win of the season with a 3-2 victory at Left Bank FC.

Finally, Printworks suffered a 4-1 defeat at Sacred Heart to leave them at the foot of the table having lost two in two and with a goal difference of minus 14.
