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.
The league presentation is to be held at Notley’s on Friday 29th May.

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.

Holders Hearts of Oak were locked in a tight game with Pot Black and edged through courtesy of a late Adam Taylor goal whereas Waveney Res. secured a 2-0 win against Beccles Caxton Res.

League Report 28th March.
The season’s John More Shield Finalist will be Gt Yarmouth Town Hall and Suffolk Punch after this weekends semi final matches were played.
Suffolk Punch eased through their tie at Kirkley & Pakefield B 7-0 whilst Gt Yarmouth Town Hall edged a tight affair with Harleston Town Res. 2-1. The final looks set for Friday 24th April at Crown Meadow.
The first division title is almost in the hands of Hearts of Oak following their 2-0 win against Spexhall and they need just one more win as they have a vastly superior goal difference on Pot Black who are firm favourites for the runners up berth following their 3-1 win against Blundeston Magpies and their solitary goal mid week against Kirkley & Pakefield.
Norton Athletic seemingly feel away as they were held 2-2 by lowly Caxton Res. who were gifted a late leveller.
Wrentham slip again as they went down 3-1 at Kirkley & Pakefield A whilst Waveney Res. who have hit some good form beat Barsham 5-2.
The final game in the division saw FC Hearts run out 7-1 winners against Sole Bay United Res.
Corton White Horse Seltic edged closer to the second division title as they won a tight game with Pakefield Re-United 3-2. They remain 12 points clear of Ole Frank whom beat Bungay Town A 5-2.
Norton Athletic Res. climb back to third some 5 points behind Frank following their narrow 2-1 win at Oxford Arms Res. but Norton do have 3 games in hand.
Hopton White Hart are a point further back as they were held to a 1-1 draw by LIFC.
Crusaders put another nail into Ellinghams coffin following their fine 5-2 win whilst the Tudor v Oulton Broad & Notleys game was abandoned due to the state of the pitch.
Due to the John Moore Shield there were just 3 games played in division three and these saw Lake Lothing run out 7-1 winners over basement side Factory Arms.
Waveney A netted a good 4-2 win against Marquis of Lorne to jump above them and Corton White Horse Seltic Res. won by the same scoreline at Westhall.
