IPSWICH AND SUFFOLK LEAGUE DI
HLA Castle Camps 6 Woodbridge Town B 0
TWO own goals, two from Alex Westdijk, one each for James Haylock and George Roach was enough to secure three home points and should keep Castle Camps top of the table.
It was touch and go on if the game should have been played, with a lot of rain laying and dropping.
But the ref gave the all and Camps again showed a comfortable performance.
But this Sunday they will have to face Woodbridge again but this time the unbeaten A side which is sure to be much different game.

Grampian Gunners 2 Lakenheath 2
DALE Pryke scored twice to give the Gunners a valuable point at home to Lakenheath.
In appalling conditions both sides adapted to give an enjoyable and exciting game.
Pryke's first was a beauty, Jackson releasing him with a fine pass and he out-paced the full-back before smashing home from 25 yards.
The visitors had the best of the possession hitting the upright and Baldwin making a fine save.
At the other end Newton hit the bar and Youngs shot just wide.
The second half saw the home side dominate the opening 20 minutes.
Pryke shot wide after robbing the centre half and Brown headed wide from a Youngs cross.
The Lakenheath keeper then saved well from Brown and Bailey hit the upright.
The visitors then scored from their first meaningful attack in the second period and then won a penalty ten minutes from time.
Baldwin made a great save but the rebound was buried.
Grampian still came back and Pryke was the hero, chipping home two minutes from the end.

ROVERS travelled to Saffron Walden for a cup game.

A minute before half time Chloe delivered a corner into the box and it came off a home player and went in.
In the second half it was all Haverhill and within the last seconds of the game Katie Schulz scored to put the game into extra time.
Haverhill completely dominated and scored three goals in the first half of extra time, two from Stacey Roper who took her total for the club past the 100 mark, and Chloe made sure with a curling shot.

Robson then grabbed another as the visitors failed to clear from the corner.
In the second-half the Gunners tool control. Haines swung in yet another corner which Gage volleyed in from close range.

Aztecs A 6 Newmarket Town 1
IT was Newmarket who drew first blood as a mix up by an otherwise very solid defence led to a goal for the away team.
Hayden Durrant equalised two minutes later.
Michael Orriss set up Liam Basham with a great pass, Basham's shot bouncing awkwardly for the keeper to bring the score to 2-1.
Orriss' hard work was rewarded with a goal of his own soon after as he drove home for 3-1.
He then set up Basham's second before half time with another astute pass, Basham firing the ball into the top corner.
The fifth Aztecs goal came as Aaron Stock fired in a great shot- unfortunately the keeper blocked the shot, but Durrant popped up to make it 5-1.
The scoring was complete when Stock put the best cross of the game on to Basham's head for his hat-trick and a final score of 6-1.

Withersfield 11 Chatteris 0
WITHERSFIELD took on Chatteris on a rain-soaked pitch, making for difficult football conditions.
Withersfield's strong flowing football proved too much for Chatteris and entered the break 6-0 up.
Chatteris dug deep to try to keep the scoreline respectable but could not stop the Withersfield strikers running rampant and scoring at will,with Liam Santry going on to score four goals.
There were impressive performances in defence from the versatile stand-in defender Josh Hughes and Ben Meads bringing in some neat dribbling football to his game.

CAMBS LEAGUE CUP FIRST ROUND
Haverhill Rovers 6 Sawston 0
ROVERS' early dominance finally paid dividends when midfielder Tom Middle fired home a long range effort that flew into the back of the Sawston net.
The home side resumed the second period where they left off, encamped in the Sawston half, and it wasn't long before the Rovers were two up with Alex Carter firing home his first of the game.
With the Haverhill side looking calm and composed and letting the ball do the work, they extended their lead with Alex Carter doubling his goal tally when he received an intelligently weighted through ball from his midfielder Tom Middle, and without hesitation the Rovers frontman smashed home his second goal.
Pressure from a series of Rovers corner kicks found Tom Middle sneaking his team's fourth goal.
With the Haverhill side now in total control Alex Carter notched his hat-trick goal, sliding the ball past the Sawston keeper for Rovers' fifth.
Will Bailey rounded off the scoring for the match with a well taken sixth goal.

First goal came 15 minutes into the first half and the second followed 13 minutes later.

Saffron Walden Town B 2 Grampian Gunners A 1
BOTH sides started well and created half chances before Gunners stepped up a gear and made opportunities for Robson and Thompson.
But they had to wait for Henderson to score direct from a corner to get their much-desired lead which they held with good defence from Woodley and Jones to half time.
The second half was very even with Webb and Grace for Gunners having half chances saved before Walden grabbed an equaliser.
Then with Walden's next attack Gunners conceded an own goal to give Walden the lead which they held onto to the whistle.

West Wratting 6 Saffron Walden Town1
WEST Wratting hosted a Walden team who had a 100 per cent record so far this season.
From kick-off the hosts outworked and outplayed the visitors and were soon in the lead after Prince was alert in the box, pouncing on a rebound after a good save.
Eldred added a second shortly after a good passing move between Cordwell and Overall.
Walden looked dangerous from distance two players possessing rockets in their boots but they were always going to find it hard to beat Wratting keeper Iron.
Prince added his second, reacting first from another good save by the Walden keeper.
Then came a five minute spell in which Wratting keeper Iron scored twice both from his goal kicks - the first one leaving the keeper with no chance, the second slightly more fortuitous.
Walden scraped one back in the final quarter only for Prince to complete his hat-trick.
