They remain 4 points clear of Hearts of Oak and need just 4 points from there remaining 3 games to secure the title. Hearts of Oak picked up maximum points after defeating Pot Black and Blundeston Magpies both 3-0.

Norton Athletic finished their campaign by holding Spexhall to a 2-2 draw on Easter Monday with a side that included 4 reserve team players in the line-up.

Waveney Reserves picked up a 7-1 win against Kirkley & Pakefield A and need 7 points from the nine they have to play for to secure 3rd place from Norton.

Waveney Gunners whose season has been derailed since Christmas went down 4-2 at Mutford & Wrentham, whom if they in their game in hand could overtake them into 3rd place this following their midweek 1-0 win over Earsham.

It was a good mixed weekend for Spexhall Reserves who won 8-3 at Ellingham on Saturday but lost 4-2 in their Easter Monday derby fixture with Earsham.

At the other end of the table Telecom Rovers beat Beccles Caxton Reserves 3-2 to keep their survival hopes alive whilst Lowestoft International lost their second game of the week losing 2-1 at Bungay Town A. Bungay followed this up by earning a point at Mutford on Monday following their 1-1 draw.

We will start this week’s roundup with massive congratulations to second division side Hopton who won the Norfolk Primary Cup after beating Great Massingham 3-2 in Friday nights final at Plantation Park. Hopton will now be looking to secure the points to guarantee them promotion to the first division which would cap a remarkable season.

Following this weekends’ games and those played in mid-week the first division title race is still no clearer but now looks a straight race between Oxford Arms and Hearts of Oak with Hearts being the big beneficiaries this week. On Tuesday they defeated Kirkley & Pakefield A 6-2 and closed the gap on the two sides above them as Norton Athletic and Oxford Arms battled out a goal-less draw however Hearts then when on to thump an inept Norton 9-1 on Saturday to boost their goal difference whilst realistically ending Norton’s chances.

With Oxford winning 3-1 at Blundeston Magpies they returned to the top of the table and are 4 points ahead of Hearts from the same games but with many difficult fixtures remaining it is still in Oxford hands as they have to play Hearts again where anything other then a defeat should give them one hand on the trophy.

Elsewhere in the division there were some strange results as Spexhall hit Pot Black for a 6-1 win and Barsham beat Corton White Horse Seltic by the same scoreline.

Pakefield Re-United returned to winning ways thanks to their 2-0 win against Kirkley & Pakefield A whilst Gt Yarmouth Town Hall and Waveney Reserves shared the points following their 3-3 draw.

DK Consultants had a good week in picking up another 6 points and boosting their goal difference further as midweek they defeated the current occupiers of second place Waveney Gunners 3-2 whilst for the second Saturday running ran out 10-0 winners this time against Waveney A.

Gunners meanwhile fell to another defeat on Saturday this time losing 2-0 to Bungay Town A.

Mutford & Wrentham are up to fourth place as they beat Spexhall Reserves 3-1.

Earsham are comfortably in mid table following their 2-0 win at Beccles Caxton Reserves whilst Norton Athletic Reserves made it 8 wins in the last 12 games as there 2-1 win over Lowestoft International sees them up to 9th place and means they require just a single point to guarantee safety as Telecom Rovers drew 2-2 with Crusaders to hang on to their slim chances of survival.

The third division title race has been thrown wide open as Corton White Horse Seltic reserves dropped 4 points this week as they were held to two 2-2 draws by Kirkley & Pakefield B in midweek and on Saturday. This coupled with FC Eastports 9-0 win against Oxford Arms Reserves and Mutford & Wrentham Reserves 2-1 win at Harleston Town Reserves means that Corton have 56 points from 22 games, Mutford have 54 from 23 and FC Eastport have 53 from 21 games.

Elsewhere in the division Royal Oak beat Blundeston Magpies 2-1, Southwold Town Reserves beat Carlton Rangers 3-2 whilst Lowestoft Albion scored 4 times but still lost 6-4 to Westhall in a bad tempered game.

The first division title race is now realistically down to three teams following this weekend’s fixtures which saw Pot Black’s slim chances almost ended and Waveney Reserves lose further ground.

Pot Black were beaten by leaders Norton Athletic whom saw Andy Green net three with Dan Blewitt the other.

Waveney Reserves in their early KO with Blundeston Mapgies lost 2-1 and are now ten points adrift of the leaders Norton.

Oxford Arms who were long time leaders won 4-0 against the bottom side Corton White Horse whilst Hearts of Oak who are still playing catch up in their games won 3-1 against Barsham to move into third. Barsham were winning this game at the break and missed a penalty in the second half with the scores at 1-1 but hearts hit back in the second half with goals from Kirk Gowing (2) and Luke Falliaze.

This time next week the title destination may be a little clearer as Norton play host to Oxford on Tuesday night before visiting Hearts on Saturday.

Other games in the division saw Gt Yarmouth Town Hall win 4-1 against Pakefield Re-United to give themselves a chance of finishing above Pakefield as they move to within two points with three games remaining.

Elsewhere Kirkley & Pakefield A and Spexhall shared the points following their 2-2 draw.

There is no stopping the top three in the second division as all picked up maximum points.

DK Consultants went on a goal spree in beating Bungay Town A 10-0 whilst second placed Waveney Gunners won 3-1 at 4th placed Spexhall Reserves.

With Hopton also winning 4-1 at Beccles Caxton Reserves it looks like these three sides will finish head and shoulders above the rest.

At the other end of the table and Ellingham who have not won a game this season failed to raise a side at Mutford and Telecom Rovers slipped further adrift after losing 4-2 at Waveney A.

Norton Athletic Reserves who looked doomed at the turn of the year won their seventh game in eleven after a fine 3-1 win against Earsham and this lifted them out of the bottom three.

The final game in the division saw a superb 5-1 win for Lowestoft International against Crusaders.

The third division title is still no clearer as the three contenders all won again. Long time leaders Corton White Horse Seltic won 6-2 at Royal Oak whilst second placed Mutford & Wrentham Reserves picked up a solid 3-0 against Blundeston Magpies Reserves.

Third placed FC Eastport had to work hard for the points at Harleston Town Reserves where they eventually ran out 4-3 winners.

The clash of the bottom two resulted in a 3-0 win for Southwold Town Reserves against Lowestoft Albion whilst Factory Arms’s fine second half to the campaign saw them score the only goal in their match with Westhall.

After weeks of call offs due to the weather the league now has to re-arrange 4 fixtures that didn’t take place this week following the failure of the council to appoint a grounds man at Dip Farm meaning the matches scheduled to have been played were postponed as there was no changing room open, nets or posts. This affected the Oxford Arms v Waveney Reserves, Oxford Arms Reserves v Lowestoft Albion and the top of the table clash in division two between Waveney Gunners and DK Consultants.

Oxfords inactivity means that Norton Athletic are the new leaders of the first division following a fine team performance and a 4-1 win against Kirkley & Pakefield A. Norton have a two point advantage but Oxford now have three games in hand and the two are yet to meet this season.

Pot Black picked up three points following their slender 2-1 win against Pakefield Re-United whilst Hearts of Oak returned from Blundeston Magpies with the points following their 4-1 win.

Spexhall hit basement side Corton White Horse Seltic for 6 whilst Gt Yarmouth Town Hall slipped to a 2-1 defeat at Barsham and are now 5 points behind the nearest team above them who are now Pakefield.

With the top of the table clash in the second division being postponed it allowed Hopton to close the gap which they did courtesy of their 2-0 win over Lowestoft International.

The other end of the table sadly sees Ellingham’s fate sealed as their 8-1 thumping at Waveney A and Norton Athletic Reserves 2-1 win at Bungay Town A means that they will definitely finish in the bottom two and be relegated.

Telecom Rovers were heavily beaten 11-2 by Mutford & Wrentham and they are now 4 points from safety and staring down the barrel.

Crusaders won at Spexhall Reserves 3-2 whilst Earsham scored the only goal in their game against Beccles Caxton Reserves.

The leaders of the third division Corton White Horse Seltic Reserves picked up another three points by winning 4-0 at Carlton Rangers whilst the second, third and fourth placed teams also gathered maximum points.

FC Eastport beat Westhall 5-0, Mutford & Wrentham Reserves beat Factory Arms 6-3 and Kirkley & Pakefield B won 2-1 against Royal Oak.

Hearts of Oak were the main beneficiaries on a day that saw the top 4 all drop points as the title race takes another twist.

Leaders Oxford Arms had a tough looking game against in form Pot Black. The match ended all square at 1-1 but Pot Black will rue a missed penalty and the fact they conceded a 93rd minute leveller.

Second placed Norton Athletic failed to take advantage as they lost 3-1 at home to Barhsam but Norton will rue the fact that they had 4 players unavailable and then picked up two injuries in the warm up meaning they played the entire match with a 51 year old in defence and their 60 year old chairman up front.

Hearts of Oak meanwhile put themselves back in the title hunt by disposing of third placed Waveney Reserves 5-1 with goal from Kirk Gowing 2, Jon Williams 2 and Zac Coleman.

The fixture list this week was decimated by postponements across the region due to the rain with only 1 fixture played in the first division, 4 in the second and one in the Primary Cup.

We will start in the Primary cup where Mutford & Wrentham failed to reach the final as they slipped to a single goal defeat at Great Blakenham. The leagues hops now rest of the shoulders of DK Consultants who will try again this week against Benhall St Mary.

The only game to survive in the first division was between Blundeston Magpies and Pot Black which ended all square at 1 apiece.

The second division saw two high scoring affairs. Firstly in a clash of the bottom two Norton Athletic Reserves thumped Ellingham 8-0. Norton have now won 4 of their last 5 and despite still sitting in the drop zone now have their destiny back in their own hands as a win in their game in hand could see them climb above both Telecom Rovers and Waveney A whilst for Ellingham it looks inevitable that they will drop into the third division having only picked up four points all season and currently 12 from safety.

Telecom Rovers plight was not helped as they slipped to a 1-0 reverse against Waveney Gunners whilst Waveney A were on the wrong end of a 9-4 score line at Crusaders.

The final match to survive saw Hopton record a 2-1 win against Spexhall Reserves.

The league would now like to hear from any new clubs wishing to join in the 2011/12 season. Please contact Secretary Glyn Gray in the first instance, 01493 651261.

After a 4 week break due to bad weather and the Christmas period the league was looking forward to a full fixture list of games however due to the heavy rainfall several games, mainly in the top division were called off due to waterlogged pitches leaving many players kicking their heels for a 5th week.

The only game that did survive saw Kirkley & Pakefield hold Hearts of Oak to a 1-1 draw at Walmer Road. Both sides sit in mid table on 9 points.

All the games in the second division were played and all resulted in away wins of which there were important points picked up by Beccles Caxton reserves and Earsham who both pull away from the bottom two. Caxton won a 7 goal thriller 4-3 at Crusaders whilst Earsham won 3-1 at Waveney A.

The bottom two teams are Ellingham and Norton Athletic Reserves and both are still searching for their first league win. Ellingham went down 3-0 to Telecom Rovers whilst Norton also lost by 3 goals in losing 5-2 to a good looking Spexhall Reserves outfit.

The other game played in the division saw Bungay Town A rise to third place following their 3-1 win at Lowestoft International.

Moving onto the third division where FC Eastport closed the gap on leaders Corton White Horse Seltic Reserves thanks to their fine 6-0 win against third placed Marquis of Lorne. Mutford & Wrentham Reserves now jump above Marquis into third following their 4-1 win at Factory Arms.

Of the three ties to survive we have two teams progress as DK Consultants defeated Claydon 4-2 and Waveney Gunners returned from Felixstowe Harpers 1-2.

WOULD ALL CLUBS PLEASE READ

2010-09-10T07:44:00.000+01:00

Morning gents

I was a little disappointed to receive reports on Monday from Dip farm and Normanston Park about the amount of litter left on the pitches after both the Saturday and Sunday games.

I would like to point out that the teams do not find the pitches covered in litter when they arrive and we do not expect to have to clear major amounts of litter when they finish 1 (hour extra to clear up after each day) the main problem seems to be insulation tape used to hold socks up

Would you please remind teams to clear up after they matches

Attendants have now been instructed to take photos of the litter and note the teams playing

These will be passed onto to you for further action.

If you are not in the position to action these comments please would you let me have the contact details of those who are

Thanks for your cooperation

Jim

A POPULAR presentation evening was hailed as a success as the respective champions and runners-up in the Notley's Lowestoft and District Saturday league celebrated their achievements.

Last Friday's evening at sponsors Notley's PH was organised by the Lowestoft League, with trophies handed out to the top sides in the respective three divisions.

And presentations were also made to the Lowestoft and District Referees Association branch, as the best officials were honoured for their refereeing skills in the Saturday league season.

Taking pride of place at the Notleys Lowestoft & District League presentation were Division 1 champions Norton Athletic with runners-up Oxford Arms also pictured.

After changing their name this season, AFC Star triumphed in division two as they lifted the champions trophy ahead of runners-up Great Yarmouth Town Hall, who sealed a remarkable rise into the op flight for next season by virtue of back-to-back promotions.

Hearts of Oak hand over crown to Norton

2010-04-24T10:12:00.000+01:00

APPROACHING the final few games of the season, and a number of issues have already been resolved.

Norton Athletic were crowned division one champions last Thursday - without even kicking a ball - as fifth placed Hearts of Oak lost to Ole Frank, meaning the village side couldn't be caught at the top of the table.

And sealing the championship in style, Norton followed this up with a 4-1 away win at seventh-placed Pot Black (Danny Hoadley 2, Steven Hak 2).

Spexhall moved up from fourth to second after a 4-2 away win at tenth placed Kirkley & Pakefield A, while Oxford Arms are now joint third - but three goals behind Waveney Reserves - after a 0-0 home draw with Hearts of Oak on Saturday and a 3-1 away win at Pot Black on Tuesday.

Barsham are now sixth after a 3-0 home win over bottom of the table Beccles Caxton Reserves. Corton White Horse Seltic remain in 11th place after consecutive defeats - 4-2 at home to 11th placed Mutford & Wrentham last Saturday and 6-2 away at Hearts of Oak on Tuesday.

In division two, AFC Star now can't be caught at the top after the week's results. They have one game left and even if they fail to beat third placed Great Yarmouth Town Hall they will still finish six points ahead of their rivals.

Second placed Pakefield Re-United (Harlow, Coote) lost 2-4 to Gt Yarmouth Town Hall last Saturday, and the Yarmouth side - with games in hand - can overtake Pakefield in their remaining matches.

Town Hall beat already relegated Harleston Town Reserves 3-0 in midweek, with the bottom of the table side having picked up a point from a 3-3 home draw with sixth placed Hopton last Saturday.

Suffolk Punch remain in fourth after a 2-1 away win at tenth placed Crusaders, while Norton Athletic Reserves moved up to seventh with two wins this week - 4-2 over 11th placed Tudor on Saturday and 2-1 away at eighth placed Lowestoft International on Wednesday.

The International side has previously beaten ninth placed Ellingham 5-1 last Saturday, while 12th placed Bungay Town A were gifted the points as first from bottom Sole Bay United Reserves failed to raise a side.

It's all still to play for in the third division, but it has been a good week for leaders Waveney Gunners. Two victories - 1-0 over tenth placed Oxford Arms Reserves and 4-0 over fourth placed Earsham - in the past week now mean they head the table by three points from second placed Waveney A and they still have two games in hand.

Waveney A lost 4-2 at home to seventh placed Corton White Horse Seltic Reserves last Saturday. Spexhall Reserves, now in third, fine run continued as they beat eighth placed Blundeston Magpies Reserves 3-1.

Earsham drew 0-0 with sixth placed Norman Warrior last Saturday as they dropped points this week, but fifth placed Kirkley & Pakefield B were held to a 1-1 away draw at first from bottom Factory Arms.

Ninth placed Mutford & Wrentham Reserves beat 12th placed Westhall 1-0, while 11th placed Marquis of Lorne had a good week with successive home wins - 3-0 over bottom of the table Carlton Rangers on Saturday and 2-0 over Corton White Horse Seltic Reserves on Wednesday.

Norton on brink of winning title

2010-04-16T14:47:00.000+01:00

THE week's results have proved to be crucial in the battle at the top of the first division - with Norton Athletic now just one point away from winning the title.

In fact, the village side - at the time of going to press - could already be champions. That is provided sixth placed Hearts of Oak - who are the only side that can prevent Norton from winning the league - failed to win against Ole Frank last night (Thursday).

Norton, with three games still to play, beat bottom of the table Beccles Caxton Reserves 5-0 on Saturday with goals from Kevin Briers (two), Nick Persich, Dan Hoadley and an own goal.

With second placed Waveney Reserves suffering their third consecutive defeat, this time 2-1 at home to seventh placed Pot Black - who scored through Gav Hunt and a Darren Boyd penalty, with Ian Hunter scoring the Waveney goal, Norton needed only four points to secure the title.

But with Hearts of Oak losing 1-0 to Pot Black on Tuesday evening, Norton are now only a point away from the title.

Micki Williams' sixth placed Hearts of Oak side - who still have five games left - had previously beaten eighth placed Blundeston Magpies 5-1 on Saturday.

Fourth placed Spexhall were gifted the points after Ole Frank were unable to raise a side, while late goals from tenth placed Kirkley & Pakefield A's Chris Mayhew, Kez Wardrope and Rob Bunning sealed the points with a 3-1 away win at first from bottom Mutford & Wrentham.

In division two, it has been another bad week for second-placed Pakefield Re-United, beset by injury problems. They lost 6-3 to bottom of the table Harleston Town Reserves on Saturday, and then drew 4-4 with eighth placed Lowestoft International on Tuesday night.

AFC Star are now nine points clear at the top of the table as they beat seventh placed Ellingham 5-1, while third placed Great Yarmouth Town Hall - who still have six games in hand on the leaders - were held to a 2-2 home draw with sixth placed Hopton.

This draw came just a few hours after the Yarmouth side had lost 4-2 (Matt Anderson, Jason Thompson) to Old Hunstanton in the Norfolk Primary Cup Final.

Fourth placed Suffolk Punch beat first from bottom Bungay Town A 5-1, while fifth placed Corton A lost 5-2 to eighth placed Lowestoft International.

Ninth placed Norton Athletic Reserves beat 12th placed Sole Bay United Reserves 2-1 with goals from Daniel Robinson and Shane Smith.

Just four games were played in the third division, as the John Moore Shield Semi Finals took priority. Waveney Gunners and Earsham will contest the final next month after 3-1 and 4-1 wins respectively over Waveney A and Marquis of Lorne.

A late winner from third placed Spexhall Reserves was enough to take the points in a narrow 1-0 win over fifth placed Kirkley & Pakefield B. Sixth placed Norman Warrior beat Oxford Arms Reserves 2-0, while seventh placed Corton White Horse Seltic Reserves beat tenth placed Mutford & Wrentham Reserves 5-2.

Blundeston Magpies Reserves have had a good week with two successive 1-0 wins, moving them into eighth, after they beat 12th placed Factory Arms on Saturday and then beat ninth placed Oxford Arms Reserves on Tuesday.

Hak leads by example for Norton

2010-04-04T14:47:00.000+01:00

APPROACHING the final hurdle in the crucial promotion and relegation stakes in the popular three division Lowestoft league, numerous issues still have to be resolved.

And it promises to be a crucial bank holiday weekend ahead with two games in the next three days.

It's a case of as you were in division one as joint leaders Norton and Waveney Reserves both had fine wins. Two goals from Norton's player manager Steven Hak and further strikes from Andy Boggis and a Danny Hoadley penalty sealed a good 4-2 away win at eighth-placed Ole Frank at Normanston Park.

Second placed Waveney Reserves also moved to 45 points, but from having played a game more, as they closed the goal difference between the two sides at the top to just two in a convincing 7-2 home win over 12th placed Mutford & Wrentham at Denes High school. Goalscorers were player manager Shaun Howes, Ian Hunter, two from Scott Jermy and another hat trick from Ray Winney.

With previous third placed side Barsham redundant, Oxford Arms and Spexhall took advantage to move into third and fourth respectively. Oxford just beat tenth placed Blundeston Magpies 4-3, while it was a “jeckyll and hyde” performance from Spexhall as they bounced back from being 1-0 down to seventh placed Pot Black following Darren Boyd's penalty, to hit back in the second half and win 3-1 with goals from Harley Lubbock and two from Danny Milne.

Still with games in hand, sixth placed Hearts of Oak had an easy 8-2 away win at bottom of the table Beccles Caxton Reserves, while Kirkley & Pakefield A returned to winning ways in moving up to ninth with a 4-2 home win over 11th placed Corton White Horse Seltic.

The top four teams in division two all won, as leaders AFC Star had a narrow 5-3 away win at ninth placed Tudor while second placed Pakefield Re-United were awarded the points after 13th placed Sole Bay United Reserves could not raise a side.

Third placed Suffolk Punch and fourth placed Gt Yarmouth Town Hall both hit a magnificent seven in convincing home wins - 7-2 over seventh placed Ellingham and 7-1 over eighth placed Crusaders respectively.

Hopton moved up to fifth with a good 4-2 home win over12th placed Bungay Town A, Corton A are sixth after narrowly beating 11th placed Lowestoft International 1-0, while tenth placed Norton Athletic Reserves beat bottom of the table Harleston Town Reserves 4-3 with two goals from Daniel Robinson and further strikes from Gary Crisp and Steve Nicol - but Harleston missed a penalty that could've sealed a point.

Likewise in division three, the top four sides all won. Leaders Waveney A narrowly beat fifth placed Kirkley & Pakefield B 3-2, despite another brace for young marksman Olly Winram for the visitors.

Second placed Waveney Gunners beat first from bottom Marquis of Lorne 3-1, while third placed Spexhall Reserves also had a narrow away win beating 11th placed Westhall 1-0.

Earsham kept up the pressure in fourth with a 4-2 away win at tenth placed Blundeston Magpies Reserves, while seventh placed Corton White Horse Seltic Reserves beat sixth placed Norman Warrior 2-0.

Mutford & Wrentham Reserves are eighth after a 0-0 draw with 12th placed Factory Arms, while Oxford Arms Reserves moved up to ninth with a 5-1 away win at bottom of the table Carlton Rangers.

Goals worth the wait

2010-03-14T17:04:00.000Z

IT was the case of the late, late, late show in the popular three-division Lowestoft league at the weekend.

A number of games across the leagues were decided in the dying minutes with teams vying for points snatching draws and victories from the clutches of defeat during a weekend of late goals.

With division one leaders Norton inactive, second-placed Waveney Reserves failed to take advantage as they were held to a 2-2 draw at Dip Farm by fourth-placed Oxford Arms.

Town Hall Reach Primary Final

2010-03-01T22:25:00.002Z

The league would like to send its congratulations to Gt Yarmouth Town Hall who reached the final of the Norfolk Primary Cup on Saturday following their 3-1 win againt Thetford Rovers Reserves. This will be the second time in 3 season we have had a league representative in the final and hopefully Town Hall will go one better than Ellingham two years ago.

The final will be played on Friday 9th April at Dereham's Aldiss Park against Old Hunstanton.

Here are Town Hall's club notes on the match:

Town Hall reached their first county cup final in 39 years with a fullydeserved 3-1 victory over a sporting Thetford Rovers Reserve side at GreenLane.Manager Jonno sprung the first surprise of the day by opting to keeptop scorer Matty Anderson in reserve on the bench.

Hall then proceeded toget off to the worst possible start conceding in the first 40seconds.However this proved to be as good as it got for the opposition asHall bossed the game for the remaining 89 minutes.

The only blot being Halls inability to convert numerous chance that their possession andapproach play deserved.Half time came still one goal adrift,with themessage from the management "dont panic".

Early in the second half withBeckett skying a clear cut opening, and midfield dynamo Keith Vincentbeing withdrawn through injury, and who up to that point was probablyHalls best player, many may have thought it was going to be one of thosedays. However with top scorer Anderson now on the pitch and a change offormation Hall raised their game further.

On 55 minutes Rob Ripkey held offtwo Thetford defenders to fire home Halls much overdue equaliser,only onewinner now.Ten minutes later good work down the right from Shane Kingdonsaw him deliver a pinpoint cross for Matty Anderson to pick his spot witha header for his 27th goal of the season.

With fresh legs introduced Hall stayed dominant.The icing on the cake came 5 minutes from time withAnderson creating panic in the Thetford defence turning provider for Ripkey to tap home from close range.Final score 3-1.Superb effort anddetermination from all 14 players,well done everyone.

Final is due to beplayed on Friday April 9 at Dereham v Old Hunstanton.However with Hall noteven at the half way stage with their league games, thoughts must turn to the six league games before then, starting tomorrow v Hopton (AWAY).Jonnowill be in touch regarding arrangements.

Team v Thetford Rovers Res.(NPC SemiFinal:Marshall,Nolan,Locke(B),Locke(K),Grant,Ripkey,Kingdon(Smith),Vincent(Anderson),Yaxley,Thompson(Tuffrey),Beckett.

Barsham slipped to fourth as ninth placed Pot Black - still with games in hand on all their rivals - beat them 1-0 with a solitary goal from Max Wall.

Spexhall remain in fifth after a narrow 3-2 home win over 11th placed Corton White Horse Seltic while bottom of the table Beccles Caxton Reserves, strengthened by their first team not having a game, picked up one of the results of the day with their first win of the season in narrowly defeating seventh-placed Kirkley & Pakefield A 2-1 with two late goals, despite Luke Graham's first-half strike for the visitors.

In Division two, league leaders AFC Star are still two points ahead of second-placed Pakefield Re-United - although Neil Dale's men still have two games in hand.

Star cruised to a 4-1 away win at Crusaders, who slip to eighth, while there was a similar success and scoreline for Pakefield Re-United at first from bottom Lowestoft International as an own goal and strikes from the S force of Sorrell, Sutcliffe and Stephenson completed their win.

Third placed Great Yarmouth Town Hall were inactive, and Suffolk Punch took advantage to move up to fourth with a 3-0 home win over sixth placed Hopton. Ellingham, who were previously in fourth place, slipped to a shock 1-3 defeat at home against Tudor, who move up to 12th.

Weekend Preview 5th Feb

2010-02-09T18:35:00.000Z

THE wintry weather returned with a bang to decimate the league programme once more, as 18 league games and the Suffolk County Primary cup quarter final tie involving Pakefield Re-United all fell foul of the conditions.

Amazingly however, one game did beat the white stuff, as the second division clash between Hopton and Corton A took place. But the home side were perhaps left wishing that they shouldn’t have gone to all the trouble of clearing the pitch at Hopton as they lost 5-1 to Corton A. With this result, the seventh-placed visitors moved up the table to within a point of Hopton, who are sixth.

It is hoped that – weather permitting – the league action will return with a bang tomorrow. And with new kick off times across Waveney of 2.30pm tomorrow, the most intriguing clash looks set to be a taster affair in division one as reigning league champions Hearts of Oak – who like fellow top flight side Pot Black have remarkably only played eight league games thus far – entertain league leaders Waveney Reserves at Normanston Park.

Micki Williams men, who currently sit poised in sixth place with four or five games in hand on sides above them, are 13 points behind the leaders.

Second place Norton travel to fellow village side first from bottom Mutford & Wrentham, while third placed Barsham are also on their travels to play ninth-placed Pot Black who have been boosted recently by new signings.

Fourth placed Oxford Arms travel to tenth placed Blundeston Magpies, fifth placed Spexhall entertain 11th placed Corton White Horse Seltic while bottom of the table Beccles Caxton Reserves host seventh-placed Kirkley & Pakefield A.

In Division two, league leaders AFC Star travel to seventh-placed Crusaders as close rivals in second-place Pakefield Re-United return to league action with a trip to 12th placed Lowestoft International.

Third placed Great Yarmouth Town Hall are inactive tomorrow, while fourth placed Ellingham entertain first from bottom Tudor.

Fifth placed Suffolk Punch host sixth placed Hopton, while 11th placed Norton Athletic Reserves entertain 10th placed Bungay Town A. Bottom of the table Harleston Town Reserves host ninth-placed Sole Bay United Reserves in the other fixture.

In Division three league leaders Waveney Gunners travel to tenth placed Oxford Arms Reserves. The division’s game of the day looks set to be the clash between second place Waveney A and their visit to fourth placed Kirkley and Pakefield B, who are level with their opponents on the same points but have an inferior goal difference.

Third placed Earsham – also level on points with Waveney A and K&P B – host first from bottom Factory Arms, while fifth placed Corton White Horse Seltic Reserves entertain ninth placed Mutford & Wrentham Reserves.

Seventh placed Spexhall Reserves travel to ninth placed Blundeston Magpies Reserves, while eighth placed Norman Warrior host bottom of the table Carlton Rangers.

In the division’s final fixture, 12th placed Marquis of Lorne host 11th placed Westhall 07.

They'll be joined by defending league champions Hearts of Oak who beat Lawshall Swann 4-0 away. Corton White Horse Seltic lost narrowly 3-1 in the second round tie against Halesworth Town.

In the league, leaders Waveney Reserves maintained top spot with a 3-1 win over Oxford Arms with goals for Tom Beals, Ian Hunter and Ray Winney.

Barsham remain in second place after an entertaining 3-3 draw with the still unbeaten sixth placed Blundeston Magpies. The division's leading scorer Josh Woolnough hit a hat trick for the home side, and they led 3-1 until late in the game when the never-say-die Magpies hit back.

Norton Athletic moved up to fourth with a convincing 7-0 home demolition of 11th placed Mutford & Wrentham. Danny Hoadle's hat trick, Paul Harriman with two and goals for Andy Green and Tom Hudson sealed the win.

Ole Frank went one goal better as they picked up their first win in the top division in beating basement side Beccles Caxton Reserves 8-2 away.

Eighth placed Norton Reserves took the lead in their clash with league leaders AFC Star, with a goal from Gary Crisp, but the Star maintained their perfect start convincingly winning 8-1 in the end.

They are now six goals ahead of joint leaders Pakefield Re-United, with both sides boasting seven wins from their opening seven games. Goals from Harlow, Sutcliffe and two from Coote were enough to secure a fine 4-0 away win at fifth placed Gt Yarmouth Town Hall.

Ellingham move into third with a narrow 3-2 home win over bottom of the table Harleston Town Reserves. Crusaders remain in fifth after slipping to a 2-0 away win at seventh placed Bungay Town A.

Waveney A still top the table and are a point ahead of The Gunners, but they've played three games more. Victory on Saturday was secured for the leaders with a fine 6-2 away win at 13th placed Westhall.

In arguably the closest contest of the day, sixth placed Earsham shared ten goals in an entertaining 5-5 draw with eighth placed Blundeston Magpies Reserves.

Spexhall Reserves are up to seventh after a 7-0 away demolition at basement side Carlton Rangers. In the only other league game played in division three, Marquis of Lorne left it late to move up to ninth in the table with their second win of the season - a 2-1 home victory over 11th placed Mutford & Wrentham Reserves.

Notley's League Report 5th November

2009-11-12T07:28:00.000Z

THE popular three division league continues to gather pace as a full fixture list has been completed in the past fortnight following the recent cancellation of matches.

To highlight this, only three teams from the 41 sides across the three divisions have managed to play eight league games thus far as the season moves into November.

The current campaign is also proving to be a tough one to call in all three leagues, with just six teams now boasting unbeaten records – and only three of these have unblemished 100pc credentials.

In division one, Waveney Reserves head the table with four wins and two draws from their six games. Champions Hearts of Oak continue to threaten and have moved ominously into third place, just a point behind the leaders with a game in hand. Two goals from Kirk Gowing and Joel Bray’s strike were enough to seal a 3-0 home win over Spexhall, who are now fifth.

Second-placed Barsham slipped to their second league defeat of the campaign with a 2-4 home defeat against seventh-placed Oxford Arms. Adam White’s brace for the home side wasn’t enough as Danny Newrick hit a hat trick, with fellow striker Ash Leggett also on the mark for The Arms.

Fourth placed Norton Athletic also fell to their second league defeat at home to a continually impressive Blundeston Magpies side. Andy Green and Paul Harriman had given the home side the lead, but eighth placed Blundeston – who despite being unbeaten have slipped down the table after having three points deducted – hit back with some late goals to win 3-2.

Sixth-placed Pot Black beat bottom of the table Ole Frank 5-1 with goals for Adam Bird, Ian Wilson, Gavin Hunt and two for Vinny Terry.

Corton White Horse moved up to ninth with a convincing 7-1 win over Beccles Caxton Reserves. In the only other match played between two first division one sides – Mutford & Wrentham and Kirkley and Pakefield A – the visitors progressed to the next round of the cup after winning 4-2 on penalties following a 1-1 draw. Former K&P A boss Shaun Norman was the hero, as he excelled in goal with two shoot-out saves.

AFC Star and Pakefield Re-United continue to shine at the top of division two with both boasting six wins from their six league games.

AFC Star scored a last minute winner to beat sixth-placed Suffolk Punch 3-2. Pakefield Re-United meanwhile kept the pressure on with a 4-0 win at home to 10th placed Sole Bay United Reserves, courtesy of an own goal and others for Harlow, Chapman and Hone.

Third placed Ellingham narrowly beat 11th placed Hopton 3-2, with goals from M Griffen, O Rushmere and D Fowles. Fourth placed Crusaders drew 1-1 with bottom of the table Harleston Town Reserves, fifth placed Great Yarmouth Town Hall had a good 5-2 away win at 12th placed Tudor.

There was a thriller at Norton, as the village side’s reserves team were 3-1 down against Lowestoft International, but battled back to draw 4-4 – with a hat trick for Daniel Robinson and a goal from Steve Rivett – in a result that puts Norton reserves in seventh and Lowestoft International first from bottom.

In the only other league game played, Corton A moved up to ninth after beating eight placed Bungay Town A 3-1.

In division three, only one team has maintained a 100pc start to the new season – with former leaders Waveney Gunners now in second place with five wins from their five games, as The Gunners went nap at seventh-placed Spexhall Reserves winning 5-0.

Waveney A top the table and are a point ahead of The Gunners, but they’ve played three games more. Victory on Saturday was secured for the leaders with an 8-1 demolition of 10th placed Oxford Arms Reserves.

Kirkley & Pakefield B continue to move upwards and the youngsters are now third, three points behind the leaders, after a 4-1 home win over 12th placed Marquis of Lorne – with two goals for Luke Graham and others from Tom Banger and Elliot Reynolds.

Corton White Horse Seltic Reserves are also three points behind the leaders in fourth after a 1-1 draw with eighth placed Blundeston Magpies Reserves.

Norman Warrior are fifth after a 2-0 home win over ninth placed Mutford & Wrentham Reserves. Earsham’s fine 4-0 away win at first from bottom Westhall moves them up to sixth.

In the only other league game played in division three, Factory Arms moved up to 11th place with a 5-1 home win over bottom of the table Carlton Rangers.

09 October 2009

ALL football matches that are due to take place on council-run pitches in Waveney this weekend have again been postponed.

Waveney District Council and operational partners Waveney Norse were forced to postpone games last weekend due to unusually hard surfaces, and this weekend the Notley's Lowestoft and District Saturday League and the Lowestoft Sunday League schedules are set to be hit again.

A Waveney District Council spokesman said: “Despite some rain during the past seven days, pitch conditions have not improved.”

Last weekend, the conditions presented “a genuine risk to player safety,” as well as “longer-term damage to the pitches” themselves, and with not enough rain this week, it seems local amateur footballers will have to wait longer to play on the council-run pitches again.

NOTLEY'S LOWESTOFT AND DISTRICT LEAGUE ROUND UP

A MAJORLY reduced programme saw just five league games and one cup match played as the weather took its toll on the Notley's Lowestoft and District League.

With all football matches that were due to take place on council-run pitches last weekend postponed last Friday >, Waveney District Council and operational partners Waveney Norse confirmed the fixtures were cancelled because of the lack of rain in recent months.

The unusually hard surfaces were highlighted as presenting “a genuine risk to player safety,” as well as “longer-term damage to the pitches” themselves.

Waveney Operations Manager Andy Wilson-Sutter said: “The surfaces are bare and bone hard and there is no question of games going ahead with conditions as they are. “Naturally we are frustrated that we have been forced in to this decision and obviously we will work closely with the leagues to ensure any backlog of games are accommodated before the end of the season,” he added.

However, there was some football played on school and village pitches. And in all three divisions those games that were played have affected the top of the tables.

New leaders in division one are Barsham, after they made it four matches unbeaten in another demolition - this time beating bottom of the table Beccles Caxton Reserves 8-1.

The division's leading goalscorer Josh Woolnough fired in a four-goal salvo, with further goals for S King, A Williams, M Howard and N Holmes, as Barsham now head the table on goal difference ahead of Spexhall and previous leaders Waveney Reserves.

Spexhall took advantage of other games not being played to move up to second place as Paul Batley solitary strike gave them a 1-0 win at Corton White Horse Seltic, who remain second bottom.

In division two, Pakefield Re-United moved three points clear at the top of the table after inflicting the first defeat on previous leaders 2-1 at the village side with goals for Stokes and John Attridge.

In the only other game played in the division, Suffolk Punch moved into third after a fine 9-2 away win at tenth placed Tudor.

In the only game played in division three, previous leaders Waveney A slipped into second after a 3-0 defeat at sixth placed Spexhall Reserves.

The unbeaten Waveney Gunners were the beneficiaries of this as they returned to the top of the table.

In the only other match played involving Notley's Lowestoft and District League sides, Norton Athletic Reserves beat South Walsham Reserves 3-1 (D Robinson 2, S Hobart) in the Norfolk Primary Cup first round replay.

League Report 25th September

2009-09-29T07:51:00.000+01:00

WITH the football season approaching the first full month of completed fixtures tomorrow, already a number of trends seem to be emerging.

From the 41 teams in the popular three division league, only six sides go into tomorrow's games boasting a 100pc record.

Two of the big-hitters in division one - Hearts of Oak and Norton - who are third and fourth respectively, have maximum points from their two games played.

Micki Williams' Hearts of Oak side raced into a 3-0 lead inside the first 15 minutes against last season's runners-up Pot Black, and eventually triumphed 6-1 with a brace of goals for Adam Taylor and Kirk Gowing, as Ant Field and Jason Belmore also got on the scoresheet.

Black added a second half penalty from Richie Reeder as a consolation.

Norton were in Norfolk Junior Cup action last Saturday as they slipped to a 2-1 (own goal) defeat at Stalham Town Reserves, and they are also without a league match tomorrow.

Also unbeaten Blundeston Magpies now top the table after a solitary Yip Chong goal in a 1-0 away win over Kirkley and Pakefield A.

Previous leaders Waveney Reserves remain unbeaten as well after a 2-2 draw with Spexhall, with Ian Hunter and Ray Winney again on the mark for the home side and Gary Boon and Joe Hadingham replying for the visitors.

Elsewhere, Mutford & Wrentham, Barsham and Oxford Arms all secured their first wins.

Mutford & Wrentham move up to fifth after a 12-0 demolition of bottom of the table Beccles Caxton Reserves.

Gary Warford hit four goals, with braces for Luke Smith, Phil Sayers and Matt Lockwood and a goal apiece for Shaun Wigley and Darren Renwick in the convincing win.

Barsham are sixth after Josh Woolnough's two goals, with Adam White and James Green also notching in their 4-1 win over Ole Frank.

Oxford Arms are ninth after a 1-0 win over second from bottom Corton White Horse Seltic.

Three teams boast 100pc records in division two, with leaders Ellingham and AFC Star having won all three of their games and Pakefield Re-United - who weren't in action last Saturday - are not far behind with two wins from the two games they've played thus far.

There were goals aplenty throughout the division last Saturday.

Another hat trick for Ellingham's Olly Rushmere and a goal from Ben Bishop secured a 4-1 win for the leaders over Sole Bay United Reserves (T Pennington).

AFC Star went one better and won 5-0 away at Corton A. Crusaders are in third place after a 5-2 home win over Hopton.

Gt Yarmouth Town Hall were in seventh heaven as they moved up to fourth in the table with a 7-0 win Norton Athletic Reserves, with Matty Anderson hitting five for the home side.

Bungay Town A hit six in their convincing 6-1 away win at Tudor, with Tim Taylor hitting four for the north Suffolk side. But in the most keenly contested game of the day, Lowestoft International were 4-0 down away at Suffolk Punch but fought back to narrowly lose 4-3.

In division three, only one team has maintained a 100pc start to the new season - with Waveney Gunners topping the table with three wins from their three games.

In a battle of the unbeaten sides last Saturday, The Gunners beat Norman Warrior 3-1.

Blundeston Magpies Reserves are in second after a 4-0 win over Carlton Rangers.

The previously unbeaten Oxford Arms Reserves are fourth after a 2-1 loss at Corton White Horse Seltic Reserves.

Waveney A are up to fifth after a 3-0 win over Mutford & Wrentham Reserves, who are still searching for their first points.

Seventh placed Westhall picked up their first win with a 3-1 success over eighth-placed Kirkley & Pakefield B, while Spexhall Reserves are ninth after a fine 6-1 win over bottom of the table Factory Arms.

Marquis of Lorne and Earsham collected their second points of the campaign after sharing a 1-1 draw.

THAT WINNEY FEELING

AFTER most teams have completed two games in the three division Lowestoft Saturday league, a number of sides are already sharing the lead at the top of the respective tables.

Waveney Reserves and Norton Athletic both head up Division One after two wins from two, and a similar goal difference.

Four goals from last season's leading goalscorer in division one, Ray Winney, gave Waveney a 6-2 away win at K&P A with other goals from Paul Jones and Dean Hurren.

Danny Hoadley's brace was enough to help Norton to a 4-1 away win at Corton White Horse Seltic, with Paul Harriman and Andy Green also on target.

Previous leaders Blundeston Magpies now sit third after a 2-2 away draw at Ole Frank, with goals for Crowe and Macias for Ronnie Socratous' side.

Spexhall started their campaign with a 4-3 win over Oxford Arms, with a brace for Danny Milne and goals from Ryan Coleman and Karl Brennan.

Mutford & Wrentham and Barsham both picked up their first point of the new campaign with a 2-2 draw, with goals for Luke Smith, Phil Sayers for the home side and Tim Roberts, Adam White for Barsham.

With both Waveney and Norton inactive tomorrow, the big match of the day will see last season's top two collide at Normanston Park.

An early first meeting of the season, in only their second game each of the new campaign, sees champions Hearts of Oak host Pot Black.

Something will have to give as both sides - who sit joint fourth - won their opening games a fortnight ago.

In the game of the day in Division Two, AFC Star made it two wins from two with a narrow 2 -1 win over previously unbeaten Suffolk Punch.

They head the table with Ellingham - who were 4-1 victors away at Norton Athletic Reserves (Olly Rushmere 2, Lee Squires, Paul Dunn) - and Pakefield Re-United, who went one better and won 5-1 at Bungay A (Michalski 2, Coote, Sutcliffe, Hone).

Crusaders, who won 3-0 away at Corton A, are also joint top but they've played a game more than their rivals.

Elsewhere, Gt Yarmouth Town Hall picked up their first points following promotion with a convincing 8-0 away win at Sole Bay United Reserves.

Tudor also picked up their first points with a 5-3 away win at Harleston Town Reserves, as did Hopton and Lowestoft International, who shared a point apiece in a 1-1 draw.

Norman Warrior head division three with a superior goal difference ahead of the also unbeaten Waveney Gunners and Oxford Arms Reserves.

The leaders dispatched Corton White Horse Seltic Reserves convincingly 8-1, while The Gunners beat Waveney A 5-3 and The Arms fired in three without reply against Spexhall Reserves.

After an opening day draw, Blundeston Magpies Reserves and Kirkley & Pakefield B are in fourth and fifth following respective wins 2-0 away at Factory Arms and 3-2 over Mutford & Wrentham Reserves at Walmer Road.

In the remaining two games in the division, four sides all picked up their first point of the new campaign.

Carlton Rangers and Marquis of Lorne shared an exciting 0-0 draw, while village sides Earsham and Westhall fought out a 1-1 draw to open their accounts.

Notley's Lowestoft and District League round-up

MOST of the teams in the popular three-division Saturday League have started the new football season, with a number of early indicators being shown for the rest of the campaign.

In division one, champions Hearts of Oak and their nearest challengers Pot Black and Norton are all off the mark with impressive wins.

Hearts of Oak beat Mutford & Wrentham 4-0 at Normanston Park, with a brace of goals for Adam Taylor, while Ant Field and Kirk Gowing were also on the scoresheet.

Pot Black impressively beat Oxford Arms 5-1 away at Dip Farm. Goalscorers were Darren Laws, new signing Ian Wilson, Gav Hunt, Max Wall and Adam Bird. Norton Athletic also triumphed, beating newly-promoted Ole Frank 3-1, with goals for debutant Dan Blewitt, Dan Hoadley and Tom Hudson.

Elsewhere in division one, there were wins for Kirkley & Pakefield A, who beat Barsham 1-0, and Waveney Reserves won the battle of the reserve sides beating Beccles Caxton Reserves 3-2.

In division two, a hat trick from Rory Spinks gave Norton Athletic Reserves a fine 6-0 win at Crusaders. Two goals from Jack Fairhead were enough for a 2-0 win for Bungay Town A over newly-promoted Harleston Town Reserves.

Ellingham, Sole Bay United Reserves, Suffolk Punch and AFC Star were all in the goals as well. Ellingham beat Hopton 7-0, Sole Bay Reserves hit Corton A for six, Suffolk Punch went nap in a fine 5-1 win over fellow promoted side Yarmouth Town Hall, while AFC Star beat Lowestoft International 4-1.

Goals from Coote, Sutcliffe and Stephenson gave Pakefield Re-United a good 3-2 over Tudor.

Notley's league set for big kick off

2009-09-04T11:01:00.000+01:00

AFTER a busy pre-season of work off the field, with managerial moves and transfer tradings taking centre stage, a full programme of action on the football field returns tomorrow.

The popular three division Lowestoft league returns with some new names and faces as sides battle it out once more.

With Division One champions Hearts of Oak and their nearest challengers Pot Black and Norton all having strengthened their squads in the close season, an intriguing campaign lies in store.

And starting the ball rolling on the league season last Saturday there were two fixtures played. In division one, Ronnie Socratous' Blundeston Magpies side - including four new signings - beat Caxton Reserves 8-1.

In Division Two, newly promoted Harleston Town Reserves found opening day opponents Crusaders a tough nut to crack as the visitors triumphed 2-0.

Tomorrow, champions Hearts of Oak open their campaign with a tough looking encounter against the newly merged Mutford & Wrentham side. Norton entertain the promoted Ole Frank, while Pot Black travel to a strengthened Oxford Arms side.

In division two, a strong-looking AFC Star side travel to Lowestoft International while two of the other promoted sides clash in a mouthwatering opening day encounter as Suffolk Punch host Great Yarmouth Town Hall.

Youth starlets of the future are likely to be blooded into senior football in Division Three.

The league will also be represented in this year's Suffolk FA county cup competitions, with the following draws having recently been made:

Suffolk FA Junior Cup first round (to be played October 17): Blundeston Magpies v Hearts of Oak, Beccles Caxton v Spexhall, Ole Frank v Halesworth Town, Corton White Horse Seltic v Mutford & Wrentham, Pot Black v Oxford Arms, Barsham v Kirkley & Pakefield A, Waveney v AFC Star.

Suffolk FA Primary Cup first round (to be played September 26): Crusaders v Norman Warrior, Westhall v Suffolk Punch, Corton A v Factory Arms, Carlton Rangers v Halesworth Town Reserves Lowestoft International v Corton White Horse Seltic Reserves, Waveney Gunners v Spexhall Reserves.

Beccles Caxton Reserves 1, Blundeston 8

WITH four new players strengthening the Magpies squad and the return of keeper McNamara from a broken collarbone things were looking good for Magpies.

And they took Caxton by storm finding themselves 4-0 up within the first 16 minutes, through braces from James Cossey and Crowe.

Caxton pulled a goal back, but in the second half Magpies tightened up and Harrison got the goal he deserved.

New boy Lilly then opened his account, while Martin netted from the penalty spot and assistant reserve manager Tarrant completed the scoring.

Caxton made McNamara make a truly fantastic save in the dying moments.

But the four new boys showed what good signings they are going to be during the season.

With another season completed here is a quick run down of all the winners and losers.

The first division saw Hearts of Oak retain their crown, however the gap was just 4 points in the end as they were pushed all the way by Pot Black who have made great strides this season.

Hearts also retained the KO cup by defeating Waveney Res. 3-2 in the final to continue to be known as the dominant force within the league. Norton Athletic finished 3rd with FC Hearts having a fine season coming in 4th.

Spexhall and Barsham both recovered after poor starts to finish 5th and 7th respectively with Wrentham having a poor end to the season finishing 6th after being among the early leaders. As the other end Sole Bay United Res. finish bottom with Oxford Arms above them and Caxton Res. maintaining their status.

The second division saw runaway leaders in Corton White Horse Seltic who cantered to the title by a 14 point margin. The battle for 2nd was interesting with Ole Frank, Norton Res. and Pakefield all in the running for long spells but it was Ole Frank who got the honour by two points from Norton Res.

At the other end Oxford Arms Res struggled and finished adrift at the foot with Waveney Gunners filling the other relegation spot as Ellingham got the final days points they needed to survive.

The third division was dominated by the new teams with Suffolk Punch winning their battle with GY Town Hall to claim the title and the John Moore Shield.

Harleston Town Res. finished 3rd with Lake Lothing closing in but they had to settle for 4th.

Factory Arms finished bottom but can hold their heads high with their never say die attitude.

So as we reach the end of April almost all of the domestic issues have now been decided.

We will start in the third division where Suffolk Punch completed the league and cup double by beating rivals Gt Yarmouth Town Hall 1-0 in the John Moore Shield Final on Friday evening. They followed this up on Saturday with an exciting 5-4 win at Factory Arms to extend their lead to 4 points with one game remaining. Town Hall will finish second with Factory Arms finishing bottom with Westhall above them.

Harleston Town Res. narrow 2-1 win against Marquis of Lorne all but confirms their 3rd place finish whilst Lake Lothing’s single goal win against Waveney A confirm a 4th place finish for them.

In the second division the top 3 are now confirmed. White Horse Seltic beat bottom side Oxford Arms Res. 5-2. Ole Frank needing one more win to confirm the runners up berth beat Waveney Gunners 3-0 whilst Norton Athletic following two straight defeat’s bounced back with a mid-week 4-1 success at Pakefield Re-United and a single goal win against Crusaders and are ready to pounce should Ole Frank slip.

Hopton White Hart look likely to finish 5th following their 4-2 reverse at Oulton Broad & Notley’s, a win that sees them safe. LIFC and Tudor shared an amazing ten goals and are comfortable in mid division whilst Ellingham’s much needed 2-0 victory at Bungay puts their destiny in their own hands. They need to gain a point from their final match with Tudor FC to stay up and send Waveney Gunners to the third division.

All the issues in the first division are now resolved. Champions are Hearts of Oak as they claimed the point they needed with their midweek goal-less draw at Caxton Res. They followed this up on Saturday with a 4-3 win at Norton Athletic condemming their hosts to a third place finish. Pot Black’s 2-0 win at Wrentham ensures the runners up spot completing a good season for them.

Spexhall’s 2-0 win against Oxford Arms moves them up to 6th place, whilst Oxford Arms are safe following their good 4-0 mid week win against cup finalists Waveney Res. Waveney have lost form since reaching the cup final and today went down 5-1 at Blundeston Magpies.

Finally Barsham on the back of three games in three days will finish mid table as they beat Caxton Res 3-2 on Thursday and followed this up with a 4-2 win against Sole Bay Res, a result that relegates Sole Bay.

Friday sees the Bright Driving Tuition KO Cup final take place at Crown Meadow, Lowestoft between Hearts of Oak & Waveney Res. KO is 6.30pm and all support welcome.

Hearts of Oak clinched the 1st division title with a comfortable 5-1 win against Blundeston Magpies at Normanston park.

The race for the runners up looks to be heading to Pot Black as they defeated FC Hearts 3-1 whilst nearest challenger Norton Athletic could only pick up a point against Wrentham as they came back from 3-1 down to draw 3-3.

KO Cup finalists Waveney Res. were held to a 2-2 draw by Kirkley & Pakefield A whilst Spexhall move into a mid table finish as they scored the only goal in their match with Beccles Caxton Res.

Barsham move up to their highest place for a while as they edged past Oxford Arms 3-2.

The second division title has already been won by White Horse Seltic but the battle for the second place is now back firmly in the hands of Ole Frank following their 7-0 win against Tudor FC coupled with Norton Athletic Reserves second defeat of week as they went down 2-0 at Ellingham.

Norton’s defeat see’s them slip to 4th as Pakefield Re-United’s 4-1 win against Oxford Arms Res. puts them in third place with the sides set to meet during the week.

Hopton White Hart returned to winning ways with a 3-2 win against Bungay Town A.

At the foot of the table the second relegation spot could be anyone of 5 teams. As previously mentioned Ellingham gave themselves a lifeline and they currently sit on 23 points but do have a game in hand on Oulton Broad Res. (25 points) and Waveney Gunners (26 Points) whilst Corton A’s good 2-1 win against LIFC sees them sit on 27 points ahead of Tudor FC.

The third division title is still up for grabs as the two contenders both lost, the first defeat of the season for Suffolk Punch who went down 4-1 at Harleston Town Res. They remain 2 points adrift of Gt Yarmouth Town Hall who lost 2-1 at Lacon Arms.

Spexhall Res. remain in 4th spot after their 4-0 win at Westhall whilst Blundeston Magpies pick up a point following their 3-3 draw with Kirkley & Pakefield B.

As we enter the final weeks of the season the first championship has been decided as White Horse Seltic came back from 2-0 down to confirm the second division title following their 3-2 win against Crusaders. They are currently on 63 points with 4 games left whilst nearest challengers Norton Athletic Res. can only get to 62 points if they win their remaining 6 games.

Norton are currently in third following their 2-0 win against Hopton White Hart. Ole Frank are 5 points above in second following a good 3-0 win against Pakefield Re-United but Norton do have 3 games in hand. Pakefield and Hopton sit in 4th and 5th respectively.

At the other end of the table the big game was between Waveney Gunners and Ellingham who were both in danger of relegation but a fine 5-2 win for Ellingham means they now have a chance of staying up although they remain in the bottom two on 20 points. Corton A are still not out of it following their 5-3 reverse against Tudor FC which leaves them on 24 points. Tudor FC did face a midweek defeat at the hands of Oulton Broad & Notley’s Res. 4-1 who are sitting on 25 points following their 3-2 reversal against Lowestoft International.

Oxford Arms Reserves who were relegated weeks ago were thumped 8-0 by Bungay Town A.

In the first division Hearts of Oak were inactive so the focus was on Pot Black and Norton Athletic who are battling for the runners up spot. Both sides picked up 3 points as they took on the bottom two sides.

Pot Black recorded a 4-1 win against the ten men of Oxford Arms whilst Norton scored a 5-1 success at Sole Bay United Res. Both sides remain locked on 46 points with Pot Black’s +6 better goal difference separating them. Pot Black do have a game in hand but with the sides still to meet it looks like going to the wire. The defeats for the bottom two means they are both locked on 4 points but with Oxford having 3 games in hand they have survival very much in their own hands.

Elsewhere FC Hearts returned to action with a good 4-1 win at Blundeston Magpies and they look like finishing 4th ahead of Wrentham who scored the only goal in their match with in form Waveney Res.

Beccles Caxton Res. shared the points with Kirkley & Pakefield A as they finished 1-1.

The third division title is still as it was as the top two shared the points for the second time this season at Gt Yarmouth Town Hall and Suffolk Punch finished 1-1 with Town Halls manager Kevin Johnson coming off the bench to secure a late draw. The GY based side are 5 points ahead of their rivals but have played 4 games more.
Lake Lothing in 4th played 3rd placed Harleston Town Res. and scored a very good 4-1 win a result that point them 6 points behind with 4 games to play.

Spexhall Res. consolidated their top 6 place as they netted a single goal win against Earsham who have finished their programme with 29 points and a mid table finish.

Finally their was a good 6-0 win for Kirkley & Pakefield A against Waveney A as they remain in the top 5.

Bank Holiday Monday also saw two more league games played with Beccles Caxton Res and Blundeston Magpies sharing the points in an entertaining 3-3 draw in the first division and Spexhall Res. beating White Horse Seltic Reserves in division 3. A win that sees Spexhall now climb to 4th place.

Hearts of Oak look set to retain their first division title as they defeated nearest rivals Norton Athletic 4-0 at Normanston Park with their superior finishing being the difference.

With Wrentham losing 4-2 at home to Barsham and Pot Black’s match with Kirkley & Pakefield A being abandoned it looks like a 4 way battle for the runner’s up berth with FC Hearts in the mix following their 4-3 win against Blundeston Magpies.

In a fraught affair at Denes High School Waveney Res. and Spexhall shared 6 goals whilst the points were also shared at Caxton Meadow as Caxton Res & Sole Bay United Res. drew 1-1.

The second division remains as tight as ever but did see a new twist at the top. Corton White Horse Seltic edge closer to the title following their 5-0 victory against Oxford Arms Res. This meant they extended their lead to 12 points as second placed Ole Frank crashed to another heavy defeat this time 4-1 against Corton A.

Norton Athletic Res. are now prime candidates to challenge for second spot as they kept their 3rd straight clean sheet in their solitary goal win against Waveney Gunners and they sit 2 points behind frank with two games in hand.

Hopton White Hart slip a place and are joined on 31 points by Pakefield Re-United following the latter’s 3-2 victory.

Crusaders continue to drop after they were beaten 6-4 by an improving Tudor FC whilst Bungay Town A edge past LIFC 2-1 to move into the top 6. The final game saw Ellingham and Oulton Broad & Notley’s Res. draw 2-2.

Despite the bad weather during the week all bar one of the fixtures were played and with all the usual suspects picking up points there are few changes to the league standings as we enter the final third of the season.

We will start in the third division where leaders Town Hall travelled to 100%ers Suffolk Punch and that record was ended as Town Hall netted a last minute goal to take a share of the spoils 1-1. It’s surely them two battling for the title as Harleston Town Res. slipped to a 2-0 defeat against neighbours Earsham.

Lake Lothing’s form has picked up of late and they ran out 6-3 winners against Kirkley & Pakefield B to remain 4th ahead of Waveney A who defeated White Horse Seltic Res. 4-1.

Bottom side Factory Arms were leading 2-0 at Marquis of Lorne but the home side hit back with 4 goals to win 4-2. Finally there were no goal’s in the Magpies Res. v Westhall match.

The big result in the second division saw Ole Frank crash to a 4-0 reverse at Norton Athletic Res. whose goal’s came from doubles for Gary Crisp and Sean Higginbotham.

Hopton White Hart split the sides following their crazy 6-5 win at Crusaders whilst Pakefield Re-United stay in touch after their narrow 2-1 win at Lowestoft International.

Ellingham move out of the bottom two following their 3-2 win against Corton A whilst Waveney Gunners now take their place as they slipped to a single goal defeat at leaders White Horse Seltic.

The biggest winners of the day were Bungay Town A who won 10-1 at basement side Oxford Arms Res. whilst finally Tudor FC edged past Oulton Broad & Notley’s Res. 3-2.

The first division saw the top 3 all win without conceding a goal. The best result goes to Pot Black who came back from Spexhall with a 2-0 scoreline.

Hearts of Oak managed 1 more as they defeated an improved Barsham 3-0 with a hat-trick for Jonny Williams whilst Norton Athletic hit 4 at Oxford Arms and struck the post/bar a further 3 times.

Caxton Res. who have improved in recent weeks won a 7 goal thriller at Kirkley & Pakefield 4-3 whilst Wrentham gained revenge for an early season reversal as they thrashed Blundeston Magpies 8-2.

Finally during the week the KO Cup and John Moore Shield draws took place and paired the following:
