This was between two teams from the Central & South Norfolk League, as Division 1 hosted Division 2. The league feeds into the Anglian Combination League and sits at what is notionally Step 13.

It had been dry all day, but it started raining fifteen minutes before kick off, quite heavy at times, which continued until just before halftime. Both teams created plenty of chances, Yaxham edging in front just before the break, when a cross was volleyed in at the near post, before they doubled their lead just after the hour mark. When Hockering pulled a goal back, with a shot on the turn into the bottom corner of the net, there was only going to be one winner. The equaliser arrived courtesy of a bullet header from 6 yards, before a stray pass towards the ‘keeper was intercepted and the ball was smashed in to win it 3-2 for the hosts.
