2nds and 3rds continue dominant form as 4ths are again mugged off by the weather

Uea 2nd 11 continued their 100% record in the Business Houses League this weekend to stay top of Division One in a commanding position.

UEA scored early on through a Nick Gaskell header and shortly after Norwich Union equalised with a dubious goal which Marcus Jones was adamant did not cross the line, the ref thought it did and the goal stood. This didn't affect UEA however and they managed to make it 2-1 before the break through Liam Martin due to some smart link up play on the right by Jonesy and Tom Thornton. In the second half the goals piled in, Chris Gunn hit 2, one of them a sweet chip over the keeper, Jonny Richardson scored his 12th of the campaign and substitute Scott Holiday got 2 in 25 minutes, one of which he definitely needs to thank the keeper for. Norwich Union did get a second from another corner but some smart saves from stand in keeper Tom Eede kept Norwich Union at bay.

Final score UEA 7 - 2 Norwich Union

The thirds(i believe played in the league cup) who were without captain Gavin Butler who was in Newcastle (undoubtedly getting shitfaced and getting his willy out) got the job done in commanding fashion with a 5 - 0 home victory over Thorpe Village ( I think).

A hattrick from Chris Morris, thats 7 goals in 2 games and goals from Paolo Ceroni and James Gould, sealed the deal. It looks as though the thirds are going to have to rely on the Primary Cup and League cup for silverware this season because looking at the league table it looks out of reach.
