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.

Council pitch games off again
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
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.

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.

Notley's League Report 12th September
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).

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.
