East Division 5NE

Ipswich 6 Sudbury IV 0

MANY expected this game to be snowed, frosted or flooded off but the weather had cleared and the pitch glistened.

The drizzle fell as the teams took to the field. Sudbury hoping their defensive solidity would produce an upset against the run-away league leaders.

The game ebbed and flowed. Ipswich had most of the ball and created few chances and amazingly no short corners in the first half. However one trademark goal from Scarff broke the deadlock as he crashed the ball home from his customary four foot. Sudbury had the best chance of the half after a Williams defensive blunder but Kwan stood up big and strong and the attacker hit it wide.

In the second half Ipswich's superior fitness paid off and they won as many short corners as they could. This led to a number of goals including a fine Glassford first time effort and Scarff scoring his hat-trick.

Goal of the game must go to Sebborn who slashed through into the top corner.

Man of the match on this event went to Glassford for an all action display just edging out Mann and Fry for his defensive efficiency and simplicity

Great news followed with Walsham beating Pelicans ensuring promotion to Division F next season and all but secured the championship although it remains statistically possible to be overtaken on goal difference.
