Mepal Sports 1 Ely Crusaders 5

A DEFLECTED shot from man-of-the-match Alex Brown paved the way for Crusaders during a much-improved display at Mepal.

Dynamic midfielder Sam Felton finished off a flowing move to make it 2-0 soon afterwards, and Lewis Hook made the interval score 3-1 after a surging run.

Brown then made it 4-1 direct from a corner, and defender George Leech grabbed a close-range fifth after Sam Scarborough's parried shot fell into his path.

Jeckells, Frodsham, Butler and Leech successfully nullified Mepal's attempts to get back into the game.

Soham United 0 Witchford 1

A SECOND half goal from Ryan Pettit was enough to earn Witchford all three points in this derby encounter.

Witchford had chances to increase their lead, but were almost caught out themselves towards the finish as Soham hit the bar.

HADDENHAM Rovers Colts Under 10's fought back from two down in a high quality match to earn a well deserved draw against a Bottisham team unbeaten in 18 games.
