Upton became champions of 3A after beating Temple Bar 4-2 (Glen 3, England). Congratulations to both clubs.

The big game in the premier division saw Quebec Rovers gain a narrow 1-0 win at second-placed and Senior Cup winners AFC Wanderers. Joe Nathan scored the only goal of the game to make Quebec hot favourites to take the title. Wymondham Rangers moved up to third place after a 3-1 win at Norman Wanderers, whilst goals by Mallet, Clarke and Amis helped The Grove to a 3-2 victory at Silver Fox.

In 1B, Costessey Sports gained an important 2-0 win at home to Aylsham, whilst Childerhouse (2), Bee (2), West (2), Allen and Brown were on target as Earlham United kept in touch with the leaders after an 8-1 victory at Mattishall YCOB.

After receiving the league's latest Sporting Award from fixture secretary Bernie Hardiman, Hillside OB went down 4-1 against Norfolk CCSC.

Division 2A leaders Reepham Town completed their fixtures with a 3-1 home win over Spixworth United and must now wait to see if Aslacton can overtake them.

After beating Plasterers Arms 6-1 (Jones 3, Miller 2, Rout) the South Norfolk side are six points behind Reepham with three games left. The divisions other game saw The Castlegate gain a good 3-2 win at Norman Wanderers A.
