The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
Moulton Harrox’s impressive run of form continued on Saturday as they defeated another of the ChromaSport Peterborough Premier Division’s title hopefuls.
A sole strike from Matt Barnett was enough to edge out high-flying Netherton United 1-0 at Broad Lane, just a week after defeating leaders Oakham United 2-0.
The victory moves Paul Kent’s side to within four points of their third-placed opponents ahead of Saturday’s trip to Thorney (2pm).
Moulton will be hoping that their impressive form continues, with a Lincs FA Junior Cup semi-final against Brumby looming on Saturday week.
On a day plagued by postponements, Crowland Town were the only other South Holland side in action in the top flight. However, the basement boys were beaten 3-1 at Sawtry despite Scott Dellaway’s strike.
The only Division One side in action were Sutton Bridge United, although their 2-0 triumph over hosts Crowland Town Reserves was in the Spalding Inter Services Cup.
