Anthony Robinson has been red-carded four times already this season.

King's Lynn win but lose Robinson, Lowestoft back to winning ways in the Ryman League and Norfolk clubs pick up points in the Ridgeons League.

King's Lynn manager Carl Heggs seems to be losing patience with top scorer Anthony Robinson.

Robinson has ten goals to his name so far this season but he picked up another red card at the weekend, meaning he faces his fourth suspension since joining the club in the summer.

Heggs was critical of his star striker but full of praise for the way the rest of the side coped for nearly an hour to make it through to the third qualifying round of the FA Trophy.

Lynn beat Whitby 2-0 and will now face Salford City at The Walks on November 21st, with Kewis Appiah, on-loan from Peterborough United, getting both Lynn's goals.

Lowestoft Town warmed up for this weekend's FA Cup game at Wrexham with a win in the Ryman League, in their first league game for a month due to their cup exploits. A 2-1 home win over Wingate and Finchley should put them in the right frame of mind for the trip to Wales.

After last weeks gloomy picture in the Ridgeons Premier Division there was better news on Saturday.

Dereham Town, Norwich United and Wroxham all recorded victories to lift the mood, but there was not such good news for King's Lynn Reserves, who lost to Felixstowe and Walton United.

Great Yarmouth Town however recorded a fine result in Division One. The Bloaters remain second in the table but closed the gap on leaders FC Clacton to three points thanks to a 6-0 hammering of Halstead at The Wellesley. Scott Woodcock notched a brace for Paul Tong's side.
