Just what the doctor ordered as Medics nick it

The weekend saw the quarter-finals of the Shoe Trades Cup which is one of Norfolk's longest running cup competitions, running since 1926.

Current holders and newly-crowned league champions Yelverton came out 2-0 winners away to a Salhouse side who dominated the first half and were unlucky to go behind just before the break after Tom Hall scored for the holders, Lee Green scoring the second.

Norwich Medics were another of the sides that had to fight hard to overcome Division One's Costessey Crown at Hewett School.

Crown were in the lead and coasting but an injury put them down to 10 men to allow the Medics to nick it at the death.

Division One strugglers Mousehold Athletic beat Loddon A 2-1 to complete a good week for the Heartsease-based side. Loddon scored first through Phil Collins yet Mousehold came back strong to equalise through Joe Wilkes and take the game through a Chris Vines header.

The lowest placed team in the competition, Division Three's Newton Flotman Reserves found the pace too hard against favourites UEA Reserves losing 6-0. However this can only serve James Baker's team well as they look to grow and improve. With the Division One title decided, all eyes are on divisions two and three. Jubilee now only need to win two more games to be crowned champions in Division Two after a solid 2-0 win over Costessey Sports. Sprowston Beehive again blew hot as they trounced Taverham 9-2, Louis Robinson grabbing four. Costessey Crown Reserves are still in the driving seat for the Division Three honours, beating Hockering 4-0. Yelverton are close behind although they have played a game more, defeating bottom club Thorpe Village 2-0.
