Hearts come out on top in title battle.....

Hearts of Oak are almost there after they collected the 3 points in their title clash with Norton courtesy of a single Vinny Terry goal. Norton tried to get something from the game but missed a late penalty and Hearts now need just one more point to secure the title. Wrentham finished off the season in good style with a 6-2 win at Waveney. Top scorer Stuart Holland with a hat-trick. They can only be caught by Spexhall who need to win both their remaining games by a +15 margin. Kirkley are currently in 4th by finishing their campaign with a single goal victory against Carlton Rangers.

The second division is still far from over and will go down to the last two games as both contenders picked up 3 points. Hearts of Oak Res. winning 3-1 against 3rd placed Blundeston Magpies and Barsham 1-0 at Waveney Gunners. Caxton Reserves can not win the title but they are only 3 points behind Barsham and still in with a chance of promotion should Barsham slip. This week they beat White Horse Seltic 3-2.

Royal Standard rammed in 6 goals in their 6-2 victory over Oulton Broad & Notley’s whilst Pakefield Re-United jump a place after beating Crusaders 4-2. The final game in the division sees Lacon Arms picking up their first win with a single goal victory over Ellingham.

With the third division title already decided this week also saw the runner-up berth secured by Hopton White Hart as they beat Marquis of Lorne 5-2. Blundeston Plough could only draw 2-2 with Factory Arms and they will finish 3rd in their debut season. Oxford Arms Res. chalked up a 6-2 win over CDS Waveney Res. and finally Spexhall Res. finished the season with a good 4-1 win at Westhall 2007 who will finish in the bottom two.

Finally the league would like to welcome application from new teams wishing to enter the league for the 2008/09 season. Interested clubs should phone league secretary Mike Johnson on 01502 565518 as a matter of course so register your interest.
