THE TEAMS
The first team are still sitting proudly at the top of the Thurlow Nunn Division 1 North League and the good news is that they are now a point ahead of Framlingham Town and also have a game in hand. Downham Town are still a threat in the play-offs and the home game v Downham ( 11th March) could play a pivotal part in the final positions in the league table come the end of the season. I think there may be many more twists and turns before the end of the season but with a number of home games to come, it is important to get behind the team. So please come down to the Sports Field, Station Road and give them your support. Recent results have been as follows:-
Diss Town drew 1-1 away
Huntingdon Town won 3-0 away
Up and coming 1st team fixtures (all league):-
