Max Loker made it 4-2 and the visitors were then denied by the post twice and some last-ditch defending.

HADDENHAM claimed their fifth successive win.

The hosts took the lead through William Darlington after good link-up play with Mathew Beary.

After Burwell hit the post, Rovers regained control when the lively Kieran Petty rifled in a shot that Mathew Wright touched in on the line, and Wright then made it 3-0 with an excellent close-range finish.

Burwell pulled another goal back but Haddenham always looked like winning.

The match finished with a Jake Alsop brace, firstly converting Joshua Lowe's cross and then scoring with a stunning strike from distance.

Comberton Crusaders 2

Soham Town Colts 8

BRIAN Tatay's four goals and a superb midfield were the undoing of Comberton.

A goalkeeping error gifted Comberton a second-minute lead, but Mark Samuel's close-range finish made it 1-1 at the break.

Tatay lobbed the goalkeeper to give Soham a 2-1 lead immediately after the re-start, but Comberton were soon level.

Chris Smith's header put Soham quickly back in front.

From this point on, Soham dominated the game and whilst Comberton battled hard, Soham had too much for them.

Haddenham Rovers Colts A 2 Soham Town 0

TWO late strikes gave Haddenham their fifth straight win and inflicted Soham's second defeat of the season.

James Beary looked dangerous in Haddenham's attack in the first half and goalkeeper Richrd Padmore made a superb block when faced one-on-one with a Soham forward.

Padmore made two more superb saves and the Rovers' defence fought brilliantly to keep a fifth clean sheet.

The deadlock was broken when Kieran Drummond's corner curled beautifully into the top corner.

Soham desperately pushed for the equaliser but were then hit on the break when Drummond's pin-point pass found Oliver Holden, who forced his way through and finished with the final kick of the game.

Haddenham: Richard Padmore, Theo Hall, Jake Bartolozzi, Mathew Morton, Kieran Drummond, Joe Snooks, Oliver Holden, James Beary, John Falconer, Alex Lowe.

Panthers 0 Witchford Colts 3

THIS was a good away win for Witchford.

J Walder fired them ahead when he converted J Thompson's cross in the 33rd minute. The second came straight after when D Butcher headed home from close range.

After the break Witchford kept up the pressure and P Dewey slotted home from a good corner. But for the heroics of the Panthers' goalkeeper it could have easily been six.

Bluntisham 1 Ely Crusaders 9

ELY took to the field full of confidence after their impressive win over title contenders Great Paxton last week.

Captain Phil Cowlan gave Ely an early lead and this was followed by some great passing play with central midfielders Kurt Farr and Ally Bailey allowing both strikers to get through the Bluntisham defence to get another five goals.

Ben Maynard's deflected shot put Ely 7-0 up at the break.

Aaron Smith scored a contender for goal of the season, burying a volley into the top right-hand corner of the net.

Maynard completed a hat-trick in the second half to make it 39 for the season, before Bluntisham grabbed a late consolation goal.

Ely man of the match: Aaron Smith.
