But Harrox still have a seven point lead at the top ahead of another tricky game at Stamford Lions tomorrow (November 17).

“Moulton Harrox are a class act who will definitely win the league, but this was our day,” a Whittlesey spokesman stated after a 4-0 win.

Reigning champions Netherton United are second with Peterborough Sports Development a point further back in third, but with a game in hand on the two teams above them. Netherton improved on recent form last weekend, but a 4-0 win over Holbeach United Reserves flattered them.

“We did play well in the second half,” Netherton boss Jon Harrison said. “ But to be honest it wasn’t a 4-0 game. Holbeach deserve a lot of credit. They had a great shape and really good youngsters.”

Netherton will expect to win at home to Leverington tomorrow (3pm) when Sports host improving Langtoft United.

Whittlesey host Long Sutton tomorrow.
