Dereham Town lose unbeaten tag and hand Kirkley lead
Dereham Town lost their unbeaten Ridgeons League Premier Division record – and the chance to open a three-point lead at the top – when they were beaten 3-0 at Wisbech Town.
For all their pressure, however, Dereham couldn’t get a goal back and their fate was sensationally sealed in the last minute when Darren Jimson spectacularly chipped Scott Marshall from fully 45 yards.
Matty Henman’s men will now attempt to bounce back when they visit Histon on Saturday.
The result meant that Kirkley and Pakefield pushed Dereham off the top of the table – on goal difference – without playing.
And tonight they have the chance to go three points clear when they take on Wroxham at Walmer Road.
