Weekly Review January 21st/22nd

Our Ladies Hearts team are now second in the Norfolk Women's and Girls League Division One after a 3-0 win over Wymondham thanks to two goals from Lisa Ferdani and one from Rhianne Brister. The Ladies First team game at home to Stevenage was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

There were some good results in the youth section with the Under-16s beating Watton 2-1 (Lewis Sanders and Charlie Larwood), the Under-12s beating Dereham Wanderers 8-1 with hat-tricks for Jack Kirby and Taylor Morris and other goals from Tom Anderton and Lewis Harris and the Under-11s winning 3-0 at home to Toftwood with Ollie Husband scoring all our goals to take his tally for the season to 27.

The Under-15s went down 7-0 at Taverham, the Under-14s lost 3-2 at Watton (Ed Lawrence and Lewis Baxter) and the Under-10s lost 7-1 at Firside (Sean Murray).
