After last week’s big freeze service was resumed to normal this week and Hearts of Oak showed that they mean business as they defeated nearest title rival’s Wrentham 8-4.
It was the visitors that thought they had the upper hand as they raced into a 2-0 lead but Hearts had other ideas as they clawed back to 2-2 at the break. They ran out easy winners in the second half adding 6 more goals in a game that was marred by a red card for each side.
Hearts stay 7 points clear of Norton following the villagers 5-1 victory against Sole Bay Res. setting up nicely the match between the two sides this coming weekend.
Kirkley & Pakfield A have been blown out of the race the last couple of weeks as this time they surprisingly lost 5-2 at Blundeston Magpies who leapfrog them into 5th place.
Pot Black are in touch following their 5-0 win against Caxton Res. with 4 goals coming in the last ten minutes, and they now have the meanest defence in the division.
FC Hearts are also in touch following their fine 4-0 win at Waveney Res. who are having a stuttering season.
Another team failing to live up to their usual standards are Spexhall as they drew for the 4th time this term as Barsham held them to a 1-1 scoreline.
The second division remains as tight as ever with the top 4 all winning.
White Horse Seltic remain in pole position as they returned from Bungay with a 2-0 win. Ole Frank enjoyed an 8-3 success at Tudor FC. Tudor’s Neil Fox broke his collar bone in the game and we wish him a speedy recovery.
Norton Athletic Res. made it ten games unbeaten as they defeated Crusaders 4-1 to stay 3rd just ahead of Pakefield Re-United whom beat Waveney Gunners by the same scoreline.
Oxford Arms Res. finally gained that elusive win with Oulton Broad & Notley’s Res being the victims 4-2 whilst LIFC enjoyed a comfortable 5-0 win against Corton A whose slump continues.
The title in the third division is a 3 horse race with all 3 sides winning.
Leaders Town Hall beat Blundeston Magpies Res. 4-2, whilst favourites Suffolk Punch eased to a 9-0 rout against Factory Arms. Harleston Town Res. managed a 2-0 success at White Horse Seltic Res.
Westhall had a fine 2-1 win against Marquis of Lorne to jump a place whilst Lake Lothing won a 5 goal affair at Earsham to move into mid-division.
Finally Waveney A go 4th following their 3-2 win at Kirkley & Pakefield B.
