Milton Lindsay A goal from Dale Simpson 10 minutes from time sent Poringland Wanderers to the top of the Norwich Sunday League Premier Division. In a game of few clear-cut chances against AFC Wanderers, Simpson's strike was enough to send Poringland top as previous leaders Wymondham Rangers were beaten 2-0 at home to The Grove.
