Defty scored his 100th competitive senior Lynn goal at the weekend

Three Norfolk sides remain in the FA Vase after the weekend action but unfortunately both Swaffham Town and Thetford Town fell by the wayside.

Once again, King's Lynn Town got the better of a Ridgeons League side to progress.

Having already beaten Dereham Town in the previous round, The Linnets came from two goals down to get the better of Great Yarmouth Town at The Walks.

Lynn skipper Jack Defty got a brace to take his tally into double figures for the season and 'Big Jack' is going to be a key figure as the campaign moves on.

There was an equally impressive comeback from Gorleston in the Vase.

The Greens also found themselves two down, at home to Daventry United, but hit back to win 3-2, while Norwich United are also through to the first round proper after a 3-0 win over Desborough Town.

As far as league action goes, Lowestoft Town got back to winning ways in the Ryman Premier Division, albeit with a slender one-goal win over strugglers Aveley at Crown Meadow.

Dereham Town are now the only unbeaten side in the Ridgeons Premier Division.

Matt Henman's side won 2-1 at Ely City and are now third in the table, while Kirkley and Pakefield went top with a thumping 8-0 win over Histon Reserves.
