League’s tribute to Andy
A minute's applause preceded each game on Match Day Three of the Norfolk County FA Veterans League in memory of Andy Boorman, Wymondham College Vets player-manager, who sadly passed away recently at the age of 50 after a battle against cancer.
On the pitch Costessey Crown ended Cringleford's unbeaten run in the Premiership with a 4-1 victory at Breckland Road. Goals from Terry Bolingbrooke, Nigel Garner, Jason Garwood and Robert Sapey saw off Cringleford who scored through George Wilson to keep Crown at the top of the table with a 100 per cent record.
Sole & Heel suffered their third consecutive 4-0 defeat at the hands of second placed Bayer Eagles. Stacey Allen, James Costello, Dean Giddings and Darren Rial found the net to keep the Eagles soaring near the top of the table.
The final game of the Premiership saw Wymondham College Roseberrians score 4 for the second game running as they were 4-2 winners at home to Watton United. Brande Wulff bagged a brace, whilst Craig Taylor also scored to add to an own goal in the victory which sent Watton to their third consecutive defeat.
Just two matches were played in the Championship with Sprowston Wanderers again victorious, keeping their 100% record intact.
