Resurgent Moulton Harrox bounce back with Langtoft victory to stay in title picture

Moulton Harrox got back to winning ways with a 2-1 ChromaSport PDFL Premier Division success over Langtoft United on Saturday.

An own goal and a Ben Allen effort ensured that Harrox put the previous weekend’s 3-2 cup defeat at Netherton United behind them – and cemented their third place position in the table.

Harrox are seven points behind leaders Peterborough Sports and will look to apply some pressure by beating Sawtry at home on Saturday (2pm).

Harrox: Kenealy, Groves, Bailey-Smith, Coddington, Watkin, McGuire, King, Cawthorne, Townsend, Allen, Parry. Subs used: Farrell, Woods. Not used: N Steadman.

  • Moulton Harrox Reserves remain on course for an unbeaten season in PDFL Division One after a fine 5-3 victory over hosts Warboys Town on Saturday.

Jon Ball’s penalty and a Martin Sandall strike put Kev Nottingham’s side 2-0 up at half-time, but Warboys pegged them back to 2-2.

  • Goals from Jack Smith (2), Jonny Allen, Gary Booth, James Ward and Tom Bates gave Holbeach United Reserves a 6-1 home win over Uppingham Town in the PDFL Premier Division on Saturday.
