NMC Division 1B Littleport Town surged up the league table with a 4-2 derby win at Chatteris Town Reserves.

Port have been in stuttering form this season but showed no sign of it on Saturday as they overawed their hosts, who remain rooted to the bottom of the league with just a single win from 11 matches.

Ben Layn and Nick Marsh provided the early goals for Port, with substitute Nico Bishop also on target.

The victory moved Port up into sixth place in the league and level on points with fourth-placed Bar Hill Saturday.

Burwell Swifts kept their hopes of promotion alive with a 3-1 win over Eaton Socon Reserves.

Goals from Nathan Hull and Jack Saunders put Swifts in command before a late strike from substitute Stuart Claydon wrapped up the points. Swifts remain in third place, six points behind leaders Doddington.

NMC Division 2B

Fordham’s run of form continued with a fine 3-2 win at Over to lift them to third in the table.

Fordham controlled the opening minutes, playing some delightful football.

They took the lead after 20 minutes play when goalkeeper Ben Tuffs’ long kick enabled Graham Ford to set up Tom Thatcher to score.

With the wind in the favour, Over then hit back although they were unable to penetrate the Fordham rearguard.

On the hour, Fordham went two up when Thatcher broke clear to put his side in a commanding position.

Five minutes later, Over pulled one back with a shot that took a deflection but just two minutes later, Fordham restored their two goal advantage when Ford enabled Tom Thatcher to score his 20th goal of the season and his hat-trick in this match.

In the final 20 minutes Over were forced to push everyone forward and they reduced the arrears in the 87th minute.

But Fordham’s earlier successes were enough to see them to a deserving victory.
