TEAM WITHDRAWS AFTER ONE GAME

After just one game in the Norwich Sunday League, in which they lost 11-0, Aldborough Lions have withdrawn from Division 4A. Their records are now deleted

BRETT BASHES AFC

Richard Brett helped himself to four goals as Quebec Rovers stunned AFC Wanderers at Eaton Park. The current champions left the Senior Cup holders, and everyone else in the Premier Division, in no doubt that they intend to hang on to their title. Jordan Scotter and Matt Elwin were also on target as Quebec ran out 6-1 winners. Cushion scored the home side's goal in a game where I thought referee John Coates was first class. Acle Rangers top the division after a third straight win, 2-0 at Norman Wanderers and Dog House are third after a 4-2 (Reeves 2, Armstrong, Timms) win at Norwich Busmen. Marlborough scored the only goal of the game as they beat Silver Fox.

North Walsham have maximum points at the top of 1A after beating Windmill Wanderers 2-0. Reepham Town's 4-2 win over Norman Wanderers Res saw them move into second spot, whilst at Hainford YCOB, Nick Mace was on target for the home side as they drew 1-1 with Vale Longo. Jason Drake scoring for the visitors. In 1B, what a difference a week makes. After being thumped by nine goals at St Faiths last Sunday, Haig FC gained quick revenge when they won the return fixture 3-1 thanks to two Glenn Thurston goals and another from Wayne Cutting. There was a similar story too for league leaders Norfolk CCSC. After winning 3-2 at Sprowston Rovers last week, the return fixture saw Sprowston smash six without reply. What an unpredictable game football is.

The Castlegate top 2A after an 8-2 win at The Stores, whilst DCS Rapid gained a good 3-2 win at Stoke FC. Dussingdale Rovers continued their good start to the season, beating Norman Wanderers A 4-1. In 2B Spixworth Sunday made it three from three, winning 5-1 at Wymondham Res and an amazing game at Acle Rangers Res saw the home side share ten goals with visitors Sporting Farmhouse. John Norman scored for PL Rangers away to Taverham United, but the home side scored late in the game to take a point and a Tyrone Parrish penalty gave Poringland Res a 1-0 win at The Gordon.

Hockering's 3-1 win at Caseys Cosmos sees them continue at the top of 3A and despite goals by Zak Virgin and Steven Bramble, Dancing Farmers went down 4-2 at home to second placed Wellington Pink Uns. The divisions other game saw Newsman Celtic defeat Temple Bar by the odd goal of five. In 3B, two goals by Sam Brewster followed by others from Mark Ratcliffe, Wes Barton and Robert Bridge helped AFC Oak to a good 5-1 victory at Freethorpe. Jason Perry, Kyle Appleton, Daniel Bruce and Lee Spencer all found the net as Heartsease FC beat Maid Marian 4-0 and Moles Rest came back from Aylsham Res with a 4-3 win under their belts. Earlham Utd Res and Unicorns Res took a point each in a 2-2 draw.

Riverside Rovers remain unbeaten in 4A after a 2-0 home win over New Buckenham, whilst there were first victories of the season for Earlham Colney, 4-3 at Caseys Cosmos Res and Temples Property 3-2 at Sporting Longdale Res for whom Jamie Platten and Matt Atherton scored. In 4B, Salhouse Rovers had the days biggest win, 10-0 at Spixworth Res thanks to goals by Oliver Harper 4, Neil Woolner 3, Leroy Peter, Chris Newton and Kel Haywood. Windmill Elite won 3-0 at Hethersett Res and Wendene Wanderers recorded a 2-0 victory at Dereham Utd. Tom Frost 2, and Adam Hamment scored the goals that gave the young Drayton side a 3-2 win at One Love United, a result that sees them top the 4B table.

In the County Cups, there were wins in the Senior Cup for Poringland Wanderers, Wymondham Rangers, The Green Man, Unicorns, Aslacton, Aylsham Sunday and Catton. The Reindeer, Deopham, Bayer FC and Ribs Rovers progressed in the Intermediate Cup, whilst Eaton Young Boys and the Bell Inn went through in the Junior Cup. Well done to all.
