Chairman's ChatTop Two Tussle
There can be no doubt about the most important match for the Club this Saturday (1 March) when at Weybread (2.15pm) the Men’s 1sts take on St Albans. In their first clash of the season it was Magpies who came out on top 2 – 1 following a superb display and the team has topped East Premier A ever since and now lead second placed St Albans by nine points. So with five matches to go a win for Magpies would virtually assure the team of the championship and a place in the national league play-offs. But nothing can be taken for granted in sport! Good luck to the squad.
And it is ‘well done’ to the Ladies’ 2nds following their morale boosting away win over Bourne last Saturday, to Ladies’ Colts A for their 3 – 0 win over Reepham and to the Ladies’ 6ths for their 9 – 0 victory over Lowestoft Railway 2nds. As for the men it is congratulations to the 3rds who eased past the 4ths and to the 6ths who pipped the 5ths thereby reversing the result of their clash earlier in the season.
Another important win last weekend was the 4 – 2 triumph on Sunday for the Mixed team over Ipswich in the national mixed trophy. This was very much a ‘family affair’ with Lawrence and Tristan Baynes, Debbie McAllen and Dave Francis and Angie and Colin Wheelhouse playing for Magpies and Colin’s brother Mark and his girlfriend Lizzie Aldous playing for Ipswich. It was good to see Colin playing again and giving a cameo performance in his first ever game against his brother!
