Although the team currently sit bottom of the league there have been encouraging signs that performances are starting to improve under the new manager (Mark Hunter), especially the comeback win at Fakenham. The team were 2 nil down and turned it around to win the game 3-2 and probably register our best win ever since reaching the Thurlow Nunn Premier Division. A few games have fallen foul to the weather and the team does have a lot of games in hand on the teams above, so the feeling is that the team will climb out of the relegation zone. It is now very important to get behind the team, so please come down to Station Road and cheer the boys onto victory - your support can make all the difference and I can assure you that the players do appreciate the support the fans can give them.

Results have been as follows:-

League - away v Thetford Town - lost 0-4
