Huge support can help Lynn do it

Local Report
by Nick Bowler, BBC Radio Norfolk

A bumper crowd of 2,336 turned up at The Walks on Saturday for the crucial Southern Premier Division clash between King's Lynn and Team Bath.

That kind of support may see them over the finishing line.

And a bonus came when news filtered through that leaders Halesowen had let slip a 4-1 lead with nine minutes to go to draw 4-4 with Swindon Supermarine.

That means the situation at the top of the table is as tight as ever but with one game less to play.

The Linnets are still third, two points behind Halesowen, but Keith Webb's side have four games left to play while the leaders have two.

It's basically still in Lynn's hands. And now they just have to go on and finish the job off!

Wroxham will be disappointed to have dropped points in their attempts to retain the Ridgeons Premier Division title.

The Yachtsmen lost at home to Haverhill Rovers while their championship rivals, Soham Town Rangers and Needham Market, both won.

It all means that Wroxham's trip to Needham Market this Thursday is absolutely crucial. With games running out, defeat would make it very difficult for them.

Ever more intriguing is the battle to move up from Division One.

Tiptree United are on the verge of clinching the title while Ely City have just about secured runners-up, meaning there is still one place up for grabs.

Even at this late stage, there are still seven sides in with a realistic chance of claiming that final berth.

Diss Town and Gorleston are firmly in the mix but it really does look a close one to call.
