Dickleburgh through in cup
The major attention was on the fifth round of the Ben Smith Memorial Cup, the Crown Fire Central and South Norfolk League's premier cup competition. Only one team from Division One made it through to the last four to guarantee that there will be at least one team from outside the top division contesting the final on May Day Bank Holiday morning.
The major attention was on the fifth round of the Ben Smith Memorial Cup, the Crown Fire Central and South Norfolk League's premier cup competition.
Only one team from Division One made it through to the last four to guarantee that there will be at least one team from outside the top division contesting the final on May Day Bank Holiday morning.
That team was Dickleburgh who squeezed home by the odd goal of three against Thetford Rovers Reserves.
The other first division sides were all beaten. Bradenham Wanderers Reserves beat Narborough 3-1 at home while Northwold S&SC accounted for Swaffham Town A, courtesy of 5-3 away win. In a replayed fourth round match, Sporle knocked out Gressenhall by the odd goal of three and will now entertain West End in the remaining fifth round match.
