Moulton Harrox back on top of PDFL Premier Division after slaying ICA Sports

Champions Moulton Harrox returned to the top of the ChromaSport PDFL Premier Division table on Saturday with a 3-1 victory over ICA Sports at Broad Lane.

All of the goals came in the first half, with Ash Coddington, Joe Townsend and skipper Billy King all on target – making Kane Gilbert’s strike mere consolation.

With Netherton United beaten 3-0 at Stamford Lions, Nigel Steadman’s side are now top of the table on goal difference.

Elsewhere in the Premier Divison, Tom Gosling was sent off as Holbeach United Reserves lost 4-2 at Stilton United.

James Ward notched twice for the Tigers, bit they slip down to tenth.

Crowland Town were also beaten, as Ketton edged them out 4-3 in a thriller at Snowden Field.

Mindaueas Valys, Simkus Virginijus and Robbie Ellis got the home goals.

In Division One, Sutton Bridge ended the 11-game winning run of leaders Moulton Harrox Reserves by holding them to a 2-2 draw at Memorial Park.

Jack Murley and Joe Sutton netted for Bridge, while goals from Declan Earth and Chris Hall ensured that Harrox remain unbeaten and top.

It was a dark day for Spalding United Reserves, though, as a six-goal haul from Jamie Darlow allowed Ramsey Town to beat them 10-0 in the PFA Challenge Cup.

In Division Two, doubles from Ash Wilson and Matt Cannon fired Spalding Town to a 4-3 win over Stamford Lions Reserves.

However, Crowland Town Reserves were crushed 8-2 at Whittlesey A and Pinchbeck United Reserves lost 3-1 at home to Leverington Sports Reserves.

There was a first league win of the season for Sutton Bridge Reserves in Division Three, as they beat hosts Uppingham Reserves 5-4.

Adam Thompson (2), Aron John, Matt Wood and Jack Allen got the goals.

In Division Four, an Andrew Baker strike kept Holbeach Bank top and clinched a 1-0 victory over Whittlesey C.

Long Sutton Reserves, meanwhile, slipped to a 2-0 defeat at Stamford Lions A.

In the League Shield, Matt Stancer (2), Ben Gibbons, Matt Clayden and Jason Bradshaw fired Tydd St Mart Reserves to a 5-1 win at Cardea, while Danny Firth’s goal couldn’t stop Whaplode Drove going down 2-1 at Kings Cliffe Reserves.

Division Five side Holbeach A did progress in the same competition, Daniel Bergin (2), Scott Burrell, Ryan Howard and Jon Clark all netting in a 5-1 home victory over Parkside.
