League Report 22nd February

Despite the torrential downpour 7 of the 9 scheduled fixtures produced results as the league now starts to battle of how to arrange the remaining fixtures in the few weeks of the season that remain.

In the first division Camden Tavern must now be firm favourites to win the title as they opened up a 6 point lead over nearest challengers El Sol following their 5-0 win at basement side Sunningdale Boys. El Sol do have a game in hand but with Camden finishing the season against the leagues struggling sides the title is surely theirs for the taking.

Struggling Norton Athletic who are trying so hard to finish the season were whacked 7-1 by an impressive Newtown Golfers side and this after taking an early lead.

The game didn’t get started at Hembsy as the pitch was deemed unfit.

There was just one match in division two as Belton United eased to a 6-0 win against Gorleston Albion whilst in the divisional cup Rollesby saw past Acle Wanderers 3-1 to head the group.

The big game of the day was in the third division where the two unbeaten sides clashed on the Beaco as Star & Garter put their 100% record on the line at Rumbold Arms. Unfortunately the match was abandoned after 60 minutes with the scores locked at 1-1.

Memphis Belton stretched their lead to 3 points following a 2-0 win against second placed Sun but they are just 4 points ahead of Star having played 4 games more.

Venture Albion won for the 5th time as they secured a narrow 2-1 win against Carpathians whilst an improved Mariners Compass chalked up a 3-1 win at Crown Stores.

This week weather permitting the league should no one of the finalists in the KO Plate as Camden Res take on first division Newtown Golfers on the Beaco.

As usual results to Glyn Gray 01493 651261 by 6pm.

Sunday League Report 14th Feb

The leagues last remaining County Cup hope Windmill were defeated at the semi final stage in the Intermediate Cup 6-3 AET by Globe Bowls Club in a bad tempered game. This was their first competitive defeat since they formed last season so can be proud of their efforts but will no doubt feel extremely disappointed not to have reached the final.

In league action all eyes were on the top of the table clash in the first division between El Sol and Camden Tavern however both sides failed to break the deadlock meaning Camden’s 3 point cushion remains in tact.

Arches move up to third place after cruising to a 6-1 win at struggling Norton Athletic with Steven Hak helping himself to a hat-trick.

Hembsy SSC move off the bottom of the table after their 4-2 derby win at Sunningdale Boys.

Just two games were played in the second division Following Acle’s waterlogged pitch forcing their game with Hembsy to be postponed.

Rollesby took advantage and move back into second place with a 5-2 win at basement side Camden Tavern Res. whilst Caesars Bar defeated Belton United 3-1.

In the third division leaders Memphis Belton were on the wrong end of a crushing 6-0 thumping at the hands of title favourites Star & Garter who have won all 7 games.

Second placed Sun FC also slipped up losing 5-4 to a rejuvenated Mariners Compass. Venture Albion recorded a 4-1 success against Bohemians whilst Rumbold Arms had to work hard for the points at Carpathians winning 3-2.

As usual results to Glyn Gray 01493 651261 by 6pm.

League Report 7th Feb.

El Sol were narrowly defeated in their Senior Cup Semi Final as they went down by the only goal at Dog House in extra time and after reaching the final last time they can be proud of going so close again. Attention now falls on Windmill who on Sunday will be looking to defeat Globe Bowls Club in their Intermediate Cup Semi Final on the Beaco, so good luck to them.

They go into the match in good form having opened up a 5 point lead at the summit of the second division following their 4-0 win again Hembsy.

Camden Tavern Res still occupy bottom place but have picked up in recent weeks and this week held Belton United to a thrilling 3-3 draw. The points were also shared on Mill Lane as Gorleston Albion and Rollesby drew 2-2 whilst 60 year old Geoff Mingay was the hero for Caesars Bars as he scored a top corner corker to help his side pick up the 3 points following their 3-2 win against Acle Wanderers.

Seven seemed to be the magic number in the third division in which the title looks to close to call with no less than 4 teams in with a chance. Memphis Belton move ahead of the inactive Sun FC following their 7-1 demolition of Crown Stores. Star & Garter made it 6 out of 6 as they defeated Bohemians also 7-1 whilst Rumbold Arms stay in contention following their narrow 2-1 success against Venture Albion.

The final game in the division saw Mariners Compass rack up an impressive 7-2 win against Carpathians.

In the first division and Camden Tavern caulked up an impressive 6-2 win against Arches who incidentally were leading 2-1 at one stage and Newtown Golfers consolidated 3rd place following their 3-1 win against Sunningdale Boys.
