Slater and Frith Division One champions Buxton failed to seize their chance to close the gap on North East Norfolk League leaders East Ruston, who were without a game.

Buxton, who had five games in hand, let two points slip away from a 3-3 (Abbs, Callow, Henderson) draw at Gimingham, thus eroding their paper advantage to just one point with the crunch game at home to the league leaders looming.

Corpusty's campaign prospered with goals from Ramm (2), Hudson, Worthington and Broughton defeating North Walsham OB 5-0.

Aldborough's title bid in Wayford Nurseries Division Two received a boost from a narrow 4-3 victory over Felmingham, their marksmen Whitlam, Hall, Perry and Woerkon. That left the team six points off and with four games in hand over leaders Horning who crashed 3-2 to North Walsham OB Reserves. Coltishall, who beat Aylsham A 4-1, are up to second spot, two points adrift on level games.

Holt A continue to race away at the top of Knights Trophies Division Three after winning their top of the table clash against Cromer YOB by a comfortable 5-2 margin thanks to goals from Jarvis (2), Williamson, Curtis, og. Stalham are their main challengers after an important 3-1 (C Fogg, J Fogg, Moore) win over Gimingham.
