Hasland Devonshire are the 2015/16 NAPIT LEAGUE Champions, clinching the title with an emphatic 7-1 mid-week victory over Wingerworth BMB. Fittingly, Lee Clay who has been in fine form throughout the campaign, hit a superb treble in the win whilst Tom Poole and Chris Bettney chipped in with two goals apiece. Three days later and Devonshire won again, this time however they had to work much harder before they came out on top against Clowne Wanderers, shading the game by four goals to three, Lee Clay, Danny Claridge, Jason Foster and Tom Poole the goal scorers this time around. Wingerworth BMB bounced back from their 7-1 reverse to Devonshire by just edging out Tibshelf Town by three goals to two, Jags Singh scoring once, Ryan Hargreaves twice.

Away from NAPIT ONE all eyes were on the Chatsworth and Hutson Cup Finals played at Clay Cross Town FC. In the Chatsworth FIVE outfit Britannia Rose took on Butchers Arms of Four and beat them by a comfortable four goal margin. Rose who lost out earlier in the season in the semi-final of the counties Sunday Junior Cup, losing to Castle Donnington Cobras, made no mistake in the Chatsworth as a couple of goals each from Luke Catt and Declan Jenkins saw them claim the silverware.
The Hutson was contested by NAPIT SIX sides Astwith All Stars and Furnace Hill Hurricanes with the latter just coming out on top winning by three goals to two, Pete Stubley, Neil Hollingworth and Tom Torrington the match winners.

Matlock Town Wanderers and West End Killamarsh contested the only game in TWO and West End won it by two goals to nil, leaving Wanderers bottom of the table.

In THREE there was nothing to play for other than pride in the two games played as New Inn Tupton beat AFC North Wingfield 3-1 and Pilsley Community won a high scoring game against Brimington Utd by six goals to four. There where some good performances however particularly from Community's Tyler Barksby and Utd's Chris Marshall, who both scored hat tricks.

The only game in FOUR was a five goal thriller as Brampton Rovers scored a dramatic injury time winner against New All Inn with literally seconds remaining. Rovers looked comfortable as Connor Martin and Roberto Marchetta's goals put them in control but All Inn pulled a goal back from the penalty spot and with ten minutes remaining drew level. With the game looking virtually certain to end in a draw Antony Rowe popped up to bundle the ball home to hand Rovers victory.

Dronfield Wanderers just edged out Royal Oak Rangers 3-2 in FIVE whilst champions Renishaw Rangers beat runners up Grassmoor Sports by three goals to one.

Finally in SIX The Castle Arms beat Palterton Sporting by five goals to one.
