League report Sunday 20th March 2011

This year’s knockout cup final will be played between Camden Tavern and Rollesby following this weeks semi finals.

Camden Tavern were facing Acle Wanderers for the second time in three weeks after previously beating them 3-2 in a league encounter and they repeated that scoreline in their semi-final after being made to work hard for their final place.

The other semi final saw holders Windmill’s recent domination of the competition ended as they were beaten 3-1 by Rollesby. After not losing a GY Sunday league game for 2 ½ seasons that is now two straight defeats for Windmill, are they starting to feel the pressure? Well done to Rollesby whose final appearance caps a fine season for them.

The rearrange first division league cup semi final between Hembsy and Gt Yarmouth Sunday was played and a rather one sided affair led to Yarmouth booking a final against Windmill following their 7-0 win.

Moving onto the knockout plate and both quarter finals that were played resulted in narrow 2-1 wins as Bohemians beat Venture Albion and Lichfield Arms beat Carpathians to book semi final slots.

In the first division there was one league game played which saw El Sol defeat Memphis Belton 4-0 to move to the top of the table although they have played 2 and 3 games more than challengers Camden and Windmill.

The second division saw an intriguing top of the table clash between Yarmouth White Sox and Martham and the points were shared following a 2-2 draw. This probably favours Martham more as they remain top on goal difference but do have the benefit of a game in hand.
