Brampton Spartans 0 Ely City 9

ELY enjoyed their biggest win of the season after a fantastic display against Brampton.

Ely started brightly and took a two-goal advantage into half-time after well taken goals from Rob Molloy and Henry Carson.

Ely certainly had their shooting boots on in the second half with a flurry of superbly-taken goals.

David Turnbull started the scoring with a wonderful glancing header. Chris Stewart then scored a quick-fire hat-trick, all goals coming via defence-splitting through balls.

Carson then scored his second after a wonderful passing move from City. Stewart then scored a fine solo goal which was followed by a simple tap in from Carson, completing his hat-trick.

Littleport Town 1

Newmarket Town 3

A CUP clash against unbeaten visitors was always likely to be a stern challenge, and Littleport's cause was not made any easier when they conceded a goal within five minutes of the start.

Midway through the half, Newmarket doubled this advantage when a free-kick was headed down and a forward scored from close range. Moments before the interval they conceded another goal when a cross was headed in at the far post.

Dan Bell provided a hanging cross under the bar, the Newmarket keeper flapped at the ball and Luke Williams was on hand to drive a shot into the net.

While defeat was the final outcome, Littleport enjoyed the moral victory of winning the second half.

Littleport: Rob Wilson, Matt Fuller, Tom Evans, Adam Reckless, Lee Fuller, James Elliott, Jon Kelly, Luke Williams, Adam Ellertson, Dan Bell, Sean Monigatti, Ryan Middleton, Sam Males.
