A hat trick in the first thirty minutes from Windmill Wanderers striker Gary Walsh helped his side to a 4-0 victory over St Faiths in front of a crowd of over 150 at Sloughbottom. The play off final took place in bright sunshine and Walsh scored his first as he lobbed the keeper after four minutes. Five minutes later, St Faiths thought they were level but the goal was ruled out for offside and soon after Nathan Joy increased Windmill's lead with a superb drive from outside the area. Two minutes later it was three as Walsh scored from the spot following a hand ball, and the tall striker completed his hat trick on the half hour mark with a decent finish. Although there was no more goals in the game, it was much closer than the score line suggests as St Faiths matched their opponents in most areas, but the finishing of Wanderers, who will now play in the Premier next season, was the deciding factor.  The game was played in good spirit and well officiated by Kevin Betts and his two assistants, Phil Edwards and Mark Ames.

MARLBOROUGH TAKE TITLE IN STYLE

Congratulations go to Marlborough FC who have lifted the Premier Division title for the third season in a row. Their 5-1 (Jordan King 2, Ben Gowan, Jody Rial, C Wines) win at League Cup holders Acle Rangers, saw the club finish three points ahead of AFC Wanderers, who completed their season by winning 2-1 (Aaron Kaye, Ty Bussens) at Sprowston Rovers.

I saw the game in 1A, which saw Norman Wanderers need a point to make certain of the title as they faced DCS Rapid. Normans took the lead after just two minutes when a corner from Sam Gauntlet deceived everybody as it sailed straight into the net. Normans continued to make, but fail to take chances and DCS always looked dangerous on the break and were determined to make a game of it. An early goal at the start of the second period by Tom Amis settled the nerves and Gauntlet went on to complete his hat trick, before DCS grabbed a consolation goal in the last minute. Congratulations go to Normans who return to the Premier Division after a break of two seasons.

In 1B Sprowston Wanderers completed a very good end to the season in third spot as they won 3-0 at Spixworth Sunday.
