Pinchbeck United made a disappointing return to the United Counties League with a 3-0 opening day defeat at Sandiacre Town.
Goalkeeper Ben Martin was called into early action with two great saves but the second saw the loose ball rebound to a home player to score.
Martin was kept busy and it was not until the half-hour mark that the Knights tested the home goalkeeper, with Flynn Slater shooting straight at him.
Slater then sent Foster but he dragged his shot wide
Sandiacre doubled their advantage a minute after the break and added another to take all three Division One points.
Knights: Martin, Simpson (Thorrold), Balding, Melson, Brooks, Sherrif, Forster, Panton (Howlett), Slater (Shinn), Cullen, Ward (Brocklesby). Sub: Douce.
Att: 85.
