League Report 18th April 09.

Hearts of Oak clinched the 1st division title with a comfortable 5-1 win against Blundeston Magpies at Normanston park.

The race for the runners up looks to be heading to Pot Black as they defeated FC Hearts 3-1 whilst nearest challenger Norton Athletic could only pick up a point against Wrentham as they came back from 3-1 down to draw 3-3.

KO Cup finalists Waveney Res. were held to a 2-2 draw by Kirkley & Pakefield A whilst Spexhall move into a mid table finish as they scored the only goal in their match with Beccles Caxton Res.

Barsham move up to their highest place for a while as they edged past Oxford Arms 3-2.

The second division title has already been won by White Horse Seltic but the battle for the second place is now back firmly in the hands of Ole Frank following their 7-0 win against Tudor FC coupled with Norton Athletic Reserves second defeat of week as they went down 2-0 at Ellingham.

Norton’s defeat see’s them slip to 4th as Pakefield Re-United’s 4-1 win against Oxford Arms Res. puts them in third place with the sides set to meet during the week.

Hopton White Hart returned to winning ways with a 3-2 win against Bungay Town A.

At the foot of the table the second relegation spot could be anyone of 5 teams. As previously mentioned Ellingham gave themselves a lifeline and they currently sit on 23 points but do have a game in hand on Oulton Broad Res. (25 points) and Waveney Gunners (26 Points) whilst Corton A’s good 2-1 win against LIFC sees them sit on 27 points ahead of Tudor FC.

The third division title is still up for grabs as the two contenders both lost, the first defeat of the season for Suffolk Punch who went down 4-1 at Harleston Town Res. They remain 2 points adrift of Gt Yarmouth Town Hall who lost 2-1 at Lacon Arms.

Spexhall Res. remain in 4th spot after their 4-0 win at Westhall whilst Blundeston Magpies pick up a point following their 3-3 draw with Kirkley & Pakefield B.

The final game saw a second win of the season for Factory Arms who beat White Horse Seltic Res. 3-2.
