Yelverton are hot stuff but title is not in the bag yet
With the weather yet again creating chaos across Norfolk, the Drayton Pharmacy Norwich & District Business Houses League were pleased that at least one game managed to go ahead this weekend.
With the weather yet again creating chaos across Norfolk, the Drayton Pharmacy Norwich & District Business Houses League were pleased that at least one game managed to go ahead this weekend.
Costessey Sports hosted Lingwood Caverners with the winner looking to go second in Division Two behind Jubilee Rangers.
All credit to Dale Rudd and the Costessey team that began snow clearing at 9:30am to see this game played. The game finished 3-3 to keep Lingwood second and move Costessey into third. Scorers for Costessey were T Burton, R Stalker and an OG, for Lingwood, S Watson and a brace for T Hales.
In general (apart from the weather) the league is having one of its most competitive seasons yet.
Yelverton top Division One by a massive 14 points and have only been beaten once whilst UEA Reserves and Drayton are pushing all the way.
New boys Salhouse and Loddon A have both found the move up to division 1 tricky to start with, both losing six times this campaign, however the division as a whole has been up and down with most teams beating each other.

Division Two is being topped by Jubilee Rangers who lead Lingwood by 10 points.
However Costessey Sports and Norwich Medics are pushing hard, but don't rule out Sprowston Beehive yet as they look to improve on their recent unbeaten run.
Division Three leaders Yelverton Reserves lead by five points over Costessey Crown Reserves although Crown have games in hand.
Newcomers to the division Reepham Town A, Hellesdon Wanderers, Ketts Tavern Toucans and Hockering have all done themselves proud by competing well within what is a tough division.
On another positive note, our boundary has been extended to a radius of 15 miles in any direction from Norwich Castle meaning that more teams could potentially compete in our league.
