HADDENHAM racked up their eighth straight league win.

Colts took the lead when John Falconer's cross ricocheted off a Burwell defender to top scorer Oliver Holden, who slotted through the keeper's legs.

After Burwell hit a quick equaliser, Drummond forced a save and Holden poked home the rebound to restore Rovers' lead. Falconer finished at the far post after Alex Lowe's cross to make it 3-1.

The second half saw Burwell playing with the wind and they immediately forced Haddenham into defending a series of corners.

Rovers' keeper Richard Padmore made two super stops, before Falconer's deft header forced a good save at the other end.

Ely City 2 Cambridge Musketeers 0

CITY settled for a solid win, but could have scored more goals.

Jordan Miller, Ryan Howell and Dan Beavis all had strikes go narrowly wide in the early stages, before Liam Heaps got the goal City deserved with a cool finish.

With defenders injured City's back four of Sean Richardson, Chris Smith, Alex Newton and Sam Bryan did exceptionally well as Musketeers continued to pump the ball long. Richardson made the tackle of the game as Musketeers surged down the wing, while keeper Tom Jordan saved City twice by racing from his line to clear.

Ely had the ball in the net three times in the second half, but only Codie Couzens' excellent strike counted, both Matt Waites and Dan Beavis had goals ruled out after narrow offside decisions, and Waites sent a penalty wide.

Ely man of the match: Alex Newton.

Royston Eagles 0

Soham Town Colts 6

SOHAM couldn't pick a man of the match, with the whole squad performing superbly.

Graham Carson scored from a tight angle early on and Elliot Drewery expertly controlled a long, diagonal pass from Simon Murfitt, before blasting home from the edge of the box to make it 2-0.

Town tore the Eagles apart in the second half and, after a well-timed run, Ryan Brook made it 3-0.

Murfitt then scored a perfectly placed free-kick and Brook's second, after a burst of pace, made it five.

Drewery won and converted a penalty to complete the rout.

Soham squad: Ben Nicholas, Ryan Saban, Simon Murfitt, Dan Sadler, Dan Brook, Francis Rowlands, Charlie Wills, Dan Whitwell, Graham Carson, Ryan Brook, Elliott Drewery, James Seymour, Michae Rola.
