THE TEAMS

1ST TEAM

In the league the first team continue to hold their own and have regularly picked up points to maintain their safe position in the league table. In the Norfolk Senior Cup the team progressed into the next round with a hard fought victory (1-0) away at Dussindale & Hellesden, despite finishing the game with 9 men. The reward is an away trip to play at The Walks against Kings Lynn U23’s.

The League Challenge Cup match against Downham Town is still to be played, after the game had been postponed twice due to the bad weather. This has now resulted in the match being switched to Heacham and is due to be played on Tuesday 16th January k.o.7.45pm.
