Saturday football: First defeat for Moulton Harrox, goals galore in derby clashes

Moulton Harrox suffered their first loss of the ChromaSport PDFL season as Premier Division title rivals Peterborough ICA Sports handed them a 3-1 reverse on Saturday.

Billy King’s effort wasn’t enough for Nigel Steadman’s charges as their 13th league game of the season proved to be unlucky for them.

Harrox are still top of the table, but now have a host of sides breathing down their neck.

Elsewhere in the top tier, two goals from Matt Eaton helped Sutton Bridge United to a 5-1 home success over Langtoft United.

The other goals came from Sam Cooper, Martin Baker and Ben English.

It was a case of goals galore in Division One, with champions Moulton Harrox Reserves held to a 4-4 draw by Long Sutton Athletic at Broad Lane.

The Harrox goals came from Declan Earth (2), Tom Panton and Martin Sandall.

Five more goals came in the other South Holland derby in the division, with Tydd St Mary outgunning Crowland Town 3-2.

Top scorer Jake Clitheroe bagged yet another hat-trick to ensure the Saints won that one.
