Weekend football update 2nd-3rd November

Match news from the Heacham and Dersingham teams.

Heacham FC were on the end of a 6-1 mauling at Great Yarmouth Town on Saturday. Heacham actually took the lead with a Toby Hilliard goal before a second half blitz by the home side secured all three points. Heacham have only beaten one team above them in the league so far this season and face a big test this weekend as they welcome leaders Ely City to their Station Road base.

In Division One of the Anglian Combination League, Dersingam Rovers FC earned a creditable point in a 2-2 home draw with leaders Caister FC. Joe Collison and Scott Sutherland-Gray scoring for the local side who sit 6th and deservedly well poised for a promotion push.

In Division Four, Heacham Reserves moved up to 6th place with a convincing 6-0 rout of Dereham Town Development. Braces by Thomas Hawkins and Tyler Reeve and a goal apiece for Ryan Mellon and Harry Robinson doing the damage. Dersingam Reserves dispatched bottom club Gayton Reserves with ease in an 11-1 battering. Four goals from Ahmed Rhaouti, a hat-trick from Dane Schmuda, two from Charlie Congreve and a goal each for Jack Rix and Ruben Dores mean the local outfit remain in 4th place with a rather healthy goal difference.

In Division One of the North West Norfolk League, Dersingham Rovers ‘A’ remain top after a hard fought 0-0 draw at Weeting Saxon FC. Meanwhile Ingoldisthorpe Reserves are in danger of isolating themselves at the bottom after a 3-1 reverse against Woottons FC. Karl Mayes scoring for the ‘Thorpe.
