League Update, bulletin #16

Weekly Bulletin Season 2013-14

Bulletin No 16
November 30th 2013

SOMETHING HAD TO GIVE

With Hadleigh United beating Thetford Town 4-1 to continue their winning ways at the top of the Premier Division two of the chasing pack met at North Road this afternoon. With home side Brightlingsea Regent having won their last 3 and visitors Gorleston having won their last 4 something had to give.

And it was the Essex side who came out on top with a Terry Rymer hat trick taking them to a 5-0 victory and fourth place in the table with games in hand on those above them. It all sets Regent up nicely for their FA Vase match at home to Colney Heath next Saturday.

Two teams near the bottom of the Premier Division met at the Unwin Ground with Ely City having lost each of the 8 home games they have played this season and visitors Wivenhoe Town not having won away in the league since March 2012. A Peter Maina penalty was enough to extend Ely’s unwanted sequence and to breathe fire into the Dragons relegation fight.

RED INSURE CUP

Great Yarmouth Town had not lost to a fellow Thurlow Nunn League side since August but came down with a bump on Tuesday evening when Premier Division Norwich United left with an 8-1 victory. There were hat tricks for both Paul Cook and Matt Blake after Scott Woodcock had given Yarmouth the lead in his 200th appearance for the club.

The Planters have been handed a home tie with Ely City in the quarter finals, while First Division AFC Sudbury Reserves will entertain Brantham Athletic after their impressive 2-1 Wednesday evening success at last season’s runners-up Stanway Rovers.

The full quarter final draw is:-

AFC Sudbury Reserves v. Brantham Athletic (Jan 29th)
Ipswich Wanderers or Hadleigh United v. Newmarket Town (Jan 29th or Jan 28th)
Kirkley & Pakefield v. Felixstowe & Walton United (Jan 28th)
Norwich United v. Ely City (Jan 28th)

THREE MORE DECIDE TO APPLY FOR STEP 4

Brightlingsea Regent, Godmanchester Rovers and Gorleston have all joined Haverhill Rovers in applying for promotion to Step 4 football next season.
YOUTH LEAGUE STRIKER HITS NINE

Ipswich Wanderers’ striker Ryan Swift scored all nine of his team’s goals in their 9-0 Youth League win at Bungay Town on Wednesday evening.

NORFOLK SENIOR CUP DRAW

The draw for the quarter finals of the Norfolk Senior Cup includes the following:-

Wroxham v. Diss Town
Gorleston v. Great Yarmouth Town (this local derby will be a repeat of the FA Vase tie earlier this season, won by the visitors with a last minute goal)

The matches are currently scheduled to Saturday January 11th.
