Weekend Preview - 1st March 2008
It's back to league action this weekend following the majority of clubs being involved in the cup competitions and in division one Hearts of Oak will look to extend their lead over Norton to 8 points with a tough home fixture against Spexhall. Spexhall will be hoping to take more points of the top two after beating Norton last time out and the inactive Norton will be hoping they take something from the game.
With Wrentham also inactive Kirkley & Pakefield A will be looking to consolidate their current 3rd place berth with victory over Pot Black whilst Waveney Youth will look to keep up their challenge as they take on Sole Bay United Res. who look to have a personal battle with Carlton Rangers as to who will finish out of the bottom two. Carlton take on CDS Waveney whilst basement boys Corton Res. take on Oxford Arms as 4 of the bottom 5 square off against each other. The only hope for these teams is that only one team may be relegated following the withdrawel of Lowestoft Town A earlier in the season.
The second division sees leaders Hearts of Oak Res. take on Ellingham whilst nearest challengers tackle Crusaders. Blundeston Magpies will be hoping to stay in touch as they face Royal Standard as will White Horse Seltic who entertains Pakefield Re-United.
Last weeks high scorers Beccles Caxton Res. who are still in with a sniff of promotion will be looking for 3 more points as they entertain Lacon Arms whilst Suffolk Punch who must be deflated after conceding 18 goals last weekend travel to Norton Athletic Res. who are in much need of a league win to get their league programmes up and running again. Oulton Broad & Notley's Res. who have jumped up the table face a mid table battle at Waveney Gunners who will want to get back to wining ways following their heavy cup defeat last week.
The third division sees two in-form sides clash as leaders Ole Frank entertain Bungay Town A where a win would all but guarantee Ole Frank a promotion spot. Hopton White Hart and Blundeston Plough would need to pick up maximum points from their visits to Marquis of Lorne and Oxford Arms Res. to keep their faint title hopes alive. LIFC take on Earsham whilst Spexhall Res. tackle CDS Waveney Res. who are looking to finish the season strongly. Finally Factory Arms can move off the bottom spot if they pick up 3 points against Blundeston Magpies Res. as Westhall 2007 are inactive.

As we reach the final two months of the season the semi finalists of the leagues cup competitions are now know.
In the Knockout cup the pick of the ties was at Normanston Park as Hearts of Oak took on Kirkley & Pakefield A. The Kirkley young guns raced into a 2-0 lead. They then struck the bar before Lee Fisher scored a screamer to bring Hearts back into the tie. It still looked as though Kirkley would hang on, however with the final touch of the game Kris Atkinson headered home an equaliser to force extra time for the league leaders. Hearts then went on to win the tie as they scored two more goals through an Atkinson penalty and Luke Fallaize. Their semi final opponents will be Waveney Youth who scored an impressive 4-0 romp at Spexhall.

Oxford Arms also won by the odd goal of 5 to set up a home clash with Hopton White Hart whom defeated Lowestoft International 3-1.
Onto league action and Wrentham continue to climb up they table, they are now 4th after beating Corton Res. 3-0. Oxford Arms gained a needed 3 points as they crushed Sole Bay United Res. 6-1 at Dip Farm.

White Horse Seltic and Blundeston Magpies stay in the hunt as they beat Ellingham 3-2 and Crusaders 4-2 respectively. The final game saw Oulton Broad & Notley’s Res. rise two places as they beat Lacon Arms 7-2.
There was only one game played in the third division as Blundeston Plough returned to winning way as they beat Blundeston Magpies Res. by the only goal as the Earsham v CDS Waveney Res. fixture was called off.

Hearts open up 5 point gap.
The Notley’s Lowestoft & District League will be represented in the Norfolk Primary Cup Final by Ellingham as they scored a goal 2 minutes from the end of extra time to defeat Norton Res. 2-1. Their opponents are as yet unknown as West Lynn SSC Res. and Lynn Docklands will replay this week after battling out a nil nil draw.
In the first division Hearts of Oak strengthened their hand at the top of the division as they won by the only goal at Waveney thanks to a Micki Williams strike. The closest challengers Norton Athletic went down 1-0 at a defensively sound Spexhall who got their tactics spot on. They scored early and then soaked up loads of second half pressure from Norton. Norton are now 5 points behind but do have a game in hand although they also have the more difficult run in.
The battle for 3rd spot heats up as current occupiers Kirkley & Pakefield A let a 2-0 lead slip as they were held 2-2 by CDS Waveney whose scorers where T Renshaw & T Aldis. Spexhall’s victory over Norton means they sit 4th a single point adrift. Then come 3 teams all on 27 points. Wrentham head this group following their excellent 8-1 success over Oxford Arms as Dale Gowing helped himself to 4 goals. Waveney Youth slip to 6th and then from a game more come Pot Black whom returned from Bratislava to defeat Corton Res. 5-0 as Adam Bird helped himself to a brace.
The final game saw Carlton Rangers strengthen their survival bid as they completed a quick double over Sole Bay United Res. this time 2-1. They are now ten points clear of Sole Bay but have played 4 games more.
The big game in the second division saw Barsham inflict a 4-2 defeat on leaders Hearts of Oak Res. to close the gap on them to just a single point. White Horse Seltic remain 3 points adrift in 3rd place as they dispatched the 10 men Lacon Arms 5-1. From a game more and 4 points off the pace come Blundeston Magpies whom look to be recapturing their early season form as they collected the 3 points with the only goal against Crusaders. Caxton Res. also are still in the hunt for promotion as they eased their way to a 6-0 success over Oulton Broad & Notley’s Res.
In the mid-table clash Pakefield accounted for cup ¼ finalists Waveney Gunners 4-1 whilst Royal Standard came back from two goals down to draw 4-4 at bottom side Suffolk Punch who are 11 points adrift of the safety zone.
The 3rd division also saw a 1st v 2nd clash and Ole Frank look certain for the title as they ran out 4-0 winners over Hopton White Hart to open up a 15 point gap. If games in hand are won they would still hold a 12 point advantage with just 5 games remaining. Blundeson Plough failed to capitalise on Hopton’s slip as they went down for the second week running this time 1-0 at Earsham. CDS Waveney Res. move above Westhall 2007 at the foot of the division as they beat Factory Arms 2-1 whilst Westhall lost 3-2 to Oxford Arms Res. who sit comfortably in mid table. Just above them in 6th place come Bungay Town A whom win 3-1 over Blundeston Magpies Res. and above them are Spexhall Res. whom came away from Marquis of Lorne with a 2-1 win.

Ellingham to represent league in Cup Final
Ellingham won the all league battle with Norton Res. to reach the Norfolk Primary Cup final.
In front of a healthy crowd Ellingham drew first blood as they punished a defensive error however Norton gradually got back in the tie and deservidley drew level early in the second half as a corner was turned in by an Ellingham defender.
With the game remaining tight it ws no surprise that no further goals were scored and the game entered extra time.
Norton thought they had won the tie when Paul Martin headed goalwards only for it to be cleared off the line and then with 2 minutes remaining an opportunist long range strike sailed into the net to giving Ellingham the win and a cup final place.
Ellingham's opponents are still unknown as West Lynn SSC and Lynn Docklands coud not find a goal between them and they will have to face each other again this week.

Referee Change
The referee for the Norfolk Primary Cup semi final between Norton Athletic Res & Ellingham will now be Tony Webb.
Weekend Preview
In a new feature for the league we will try and preview this weekends league and cup action.
We will start with the Norfolk Primary Cup where the leagues two remaining representitives square off as Norton Athletic Res. take on Ellingham. Ellingham probaby go into the game as slight favourites due to recent good league form. The sides have already met twice in the league this season with both games being one by the home side. Norton winning 4-3 and Ellingham winning 8-1. Whatever happens the league will be represented in the final.
Onto the first division and the two title challengers face difficult away games against the 4th and 5th placed sides Waveney and Spexhall. At the foot of the table Sole Bay United Res will be looking to avenge last weeks 3-0 defeat to Carlton Rangers in a quick return fixture whilst bottom side Corton Res tackle a Pot Black side fresh from their mid season break in Bratislava. Wrentham and Oxford Arms meet again whilst Kirkley & Pakefield A travel to CDS Waveney.
There is no doubting the game of the day in division two as leaders Hearts of Oak take on second place Barsham. A home win would increase the lead to 7 points whilst an away win would really throw open the title race. White Horse Seltic and Magpies look to keep the pressure on the top two as they take on strugglers Lacon Arms and Crusaders whereas Suffolk Punch will be looking for a long overdue win against Royal Standard. In a mid table game Waveney Gunners take on Pakefield Re-United and in the final fixture Caxton Res tackle Oulton Broad & Notley's Res.
The third division also sees a top of the table clash as leaders Ole Frank host Hopton White Hart. Blundeston Plough will be looking to bounce back from last weeks set back at Earsham whilst the bottom two sides also meet as Factory Arms host CDS Waveney Res. Bungay Town A will be looking to keep recent good form going against Magpies Res. Marquis of Lorne entertain Spexhall Res. whilst Westhall 2007 entertain Oxford Arms Res in need of a win in their bid to avoid finishing in the bottom two.

Wrentham and Oxford Arms meet again whilst Kirkley & Pakefield A travel to CDS Waveney.
There is no doubting the game of the day in division two as leaders Hearts of Oak take on second place Barsham. A home win would increase the lead to 7 points whilst an away win would really throw open the title race. White Horse Seltic and Magpies look to keep the pressure on the top two as they take on strugglers Lacon Arms and Crusaders whereas Suffolk Punch will be looking for a long overdue win against Royal Standard. In a mid table game Waveney Gunners take on Pakefield Re-United and in the final fixture Caxton Res tackle Oulton Broad & Notley's Res.
The third division also sees a top of the table clash as leaders Ole Frank host Hopton White Hart. Blundeston Plough will be looking to bounce back from last weeks set back at Earsham whilst the bottom two sides also meet as Factory Arms host CDS Waveney Res. Bungay Town A will be looking to keep recent good form going against Magpies Res. Marquis of Lorne entertain Spexhall Res. whilst Westhall 2007 entertain Oxford Arms Res in need of a win in their bid to avoid finishing in the bottom two.

Hearts too hot to handle
After last weeks disrupted programme the Notley’s league resumed normal service with every scheduled match taking place. In the KO Cup Waveney Gunners booked their quarter final place with a narrow 2-1 victory over Norton Res. and will now take on first division CDS Waveney on February 23rd.
Onto league action and the game of the day was at Normanston park as leaders Hearts of Oak took on 3rd place Kirkley & Pakefield A. Hearts gained revenge for an earlier defeat by running out comfortable 4-0 winners including a brace for top marksman Johnny Williams who has now struck 20 for the season. The defeat leaves Kirkley 10 points adrift and seemingly out of the title race which now appears to be between Hearts and Norton Athletic who played their first game for a month but had no trouble in seeing off bottom placed Corton Res. as Norton rammed home 13 goals. There now looks to be a real battle on for 3rd place and Spexhall put themselves in contention after beating Wrentham 3-2. There was a thrilling match at Dip Farm between Oxford Arms and CDS Waveney with CDS collecting the points by virtue of a 6-5 win and finally Carlton Rangers did their survival hopes the power of good as they recorded a fine 3-0 win at Sole Bay United Res.
The second division sees Hearts of Oak Reserves strengthen their position at the top of the table as their 11-0 mauling over bottom side Suffolk Punch meant they opened up a 4 point gap as second placed Barsham went down to third place White Horse Seltic 3-1. The battle for promotion looks a hot prospect as Blundeston Magpies stayed in touch following their 4-1 win over Lacon Arms. You can’t rule out Caxton Res. who are 6 points off second after their 2-0 success at Royal Standard or Waveney Gunners who are 8 points off the pace with a game in hand. At the other end of the table Oulton Broad & Notley’s Reserves picked up another 3 points after beating Crusaders 4-1 whilst in midtable Ellingham warmed up for their Primary Cup semi final with a good 6-3 win at Pakefield Re-United.
In the third division Ole Frank continue to surge towards the title as they defeated Spexhall Res. 5-3. Blundeston Plough dropped to second after their shock defeat to CDS Waveney Res. Hopton White Hart who are having a fine season move into second as they beat LIFC 2-1. Draw specialists Marquis of Lorne were at it again as they played out a goalless encounter with Oxford Arms Res. Earsham and Factory Arms also shared the points in a 1-1 draw as did Westhall 2007 and Blundeston Magpies Res. where the score was 3-3.

Snow disrupts programme.
Well it was almost a complete cancellation of the league programme as the snow fell at just the wrong time leaving almost all the pitches covered with frozen snow and therefore unplayable.
There were just 3 venues that escaped with Southwold Common, Ellingham and Spexhall declared playable. On the common Sole Bay Res. moved off the bottom of the table with a very good 5-1 victory over Oxford Arms. Corton Res. are now the basement side. In division two Ellingham recorded a 4-1 win over Oulton Broad & Notley’s Res. whilst in division three Spexhall Res. ran out 3-0 winners over Factory Arms.
The league hopes to return to a full programme this coming weekend but there will be some changes in the fixtures particulary in the second division as Waveney Gunners and Norton Athletic Res. will finally hope to be able to complete their outstanding knockout cup tie.
Finally the league will have a representative in the Norfolk Primary Cup Final as Norton were drawn at home to Ellingham. The tie set to be played next weekend 16th Feb. Any support welcome.
