WELLINGTON'S PERFECT RECORD BITES THE DUST

The Grove missed the chance to open up a gap at the top of the Premier Division when they were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Poringland. VandenBergh put the visitors in front only for Mallet to level. It could have been worse for the leaders though as Poringland also missed a penalty. Silver Fox went down 4-2 at Quebec and Acle Rangers had a good 6-3 win at Norman Wanderers. Dog House continue to rise after beating Salhouse Rovers 5-1.

There were only two games in 1A, North Walsham and Hellesdon Ath shared the points after a 1-1 draw, whilst goals by Wade and Van Raalte gave Hainford YCOB a 2-0 win at Unthank Arms. Aylsham Sunday continue to lead 1B after a 4-0 victory at home to Unicorns whilst Earlham Utd are second thanks to a 5-0 (Brown 2, Bee, West and George) at Hillside OB. Earlham are one of three teams on 32 points. The other two are Costessey Sports who won 3-0 at Drayton and Norfolk CCSC who had a 4-0 win at Manor Park. Sprowston Wanderers won 4-1 at Prince of Denmark and Haig thumped twelve past eight man Mattishall YCOB.

Vale Longo top 2A after a very good 5-3 ( Forwood, Archer, Crowley, Powley and Drake) win against Aslacton, and are now two points clear of Green Man who were held to a 1-1 draw at home to The Castlegate. Reepham Town are closing in on the top two after a 3-1 win at Acle Wanderers, whilst Stannard and Kirby were on target for Deopham as they beat Spixworth Utd 2-1. The Griffen hit five without reply at Plasterers Arms. In 2B, second placed St Faiths came from 3-0 down to beat Spixworth Sunday 4-3 and Acle Rangers remain on level points with St Faiths after beating Horsford SC2-1. Sprowston Rovers thumped six past The Gordon whilst Rocastle 2, Lofty 2, Bradfield and Lake all scored as PL Rangers won a see-saw battle at Poringland Res 6-4.

The big game in 3A saw leaders Stoke beat third placed The Otter thanks to goals by Hatch, Dooley and Lahfa. Second placed Upton won 2-0 (Nelson, Elvin) at home to Newsman Celtic and Sporting Longdale won 4-3 at Mad Moose. Bystanders and Temple Bar shared the points after a six goal thriller at The Hewett. Bayer FC are now strong favourites to take the 3B title after they won 4-2 at nearest challengers Mischief Tavern. Third placed Sporting Farmhouse won 2-0 at Dynamo Denmark and Taverham Utd won at Unicorns Res by the same score. Wymondham Res won 5-0 at Wilco Fast Fit and Hethersett Res came back from Aylsham Res with all three points after winning 3-1. Moles Rest gained quick revenge for last week's defeat as they beat AFC Rompers 6-2.

I predicted that it would be a tough test to their one hundred per cent record and it proved to be the case as 4A leaders Wellington Pink Uns finally tasted defeat when they went down 2-1 at home to nearest rivals Sprowston Royal Oak. This result should make the run in very interesting. Dancing Farmers were held to a 2-2 draw by Brickmakers, Virgin and Woodward scoring for Farmers, and Kings Arms beat AFC Mousehold 5-1. Hockering are fifth after a 5-0 win over Sporting Longdale Res and Hellesdon Ath beat Norwich Airport by the same score. Earlham Colney came away from Sloughbottom with three points after a 3-1 against Silver Fox Res. With 4B leaders Heartsease FC without a game, Earlham Utd Res missed the chance to take over at the top when they were thumped 4-1 at Hingham Ath. Maid Marian came from two down to take a point a Felmingham thanks to goals by manager Laxton and Bone and Constitution scored seven (Howe 4, Messenger 2 and Patel) when beating Hethersett "A". Finally well done to Wendene Wanderers who gained their first victory of the season, 3-1 at Spixworth Sunday Res.
