King's Lynn slotted four goals past Gorleston in the FA Vase

Two of three Norfolk sides remain in the FA Vase after the weekend's second round ties - the best return that could have been achieved given that King's Lynn Town and Gorleston played each other.

The results mirrored each other, with the Linnets securing a comfortable 4-0 win over The Greens at The Walks, while last year's finalists Wroxham beat Wisbech Town by the same scoreline.

It was the Yachtsmen's second win over the Cambridgeshire side this season, having already taken three points off them in the Ridgeons Premier.

The reward for Wroxham is a home tie to UCL Premier Division side St Ives Town, while Lynn go to Kent League outfit Beckenham Town.

The ties will be played on Saturday, 4 December.

Away from the Vase, Lowestoft Town had to make do with just a point in the Ryman Premier.

The Blues played host to lowly Wealdstone but were held to a 0-0 draw at Crown Meadow - a result that sees them slip to fifth in the table.

The game entailed some sibling rivalry, as Adrian Forbes lined up against his brother Kieron, who plays for Wealdstone.

In the Ridgeons Premier there were two disappointing results.

Leaders Dereham Town could have extended their lead to eight points but lost 2-1 at Mildenhall Town, while Great Yarmouth Town became the first team this season to lose at strugglers Felixstowe and Walton United.

The Bloaters went down 5-2 - a result that took the hosts out of the relegation zone.

There was better news for Norwich United, who won 3-0 at FC Clacton and in Division One Diss Town got back on track with a comfortable 6-1 win at March Town United.
