PDFL round-up: Leaders Polonia slayed by champions Moulton Harrox Reserves

Champions Moulton Harrox Reserves returned to the top of the ChromaSport PDFL Division One table with a 3-1 victory over previous leaders Peterborough Polonia on Saturday.

A double from Martin Sandall and a Keith England strike steered Kev Nottingham’s charges to all three points at Broad Lane, despite a Rafal Kowalksi effort.

Tom Gosling, Liam O’Connor, Matty Oliver, Billy Oliver and Lewis Adan Jay bagged for Omar Joof’s Magpies.

Also hitting five were Tydd St Mary, who saw off Netherton United Reserves 5-2 at Memorial Park.

Eddie Pentney (3) and top scorer Jake Clitheroe (2) inspired that win.

That theme continued with Crowland Town, who crushed hosts Ramsey Town 5-2.

In-form Holbeach United Reserves were also on-song as they hammered Leverington Sports 5-0 at Carter’s Park.

Jonny Allen, Steve Barnes, Gary Chappell, Kieran Hamilton and Scott Powley got the goals.

Sutton Bridge United, meanwhile, saw off Whittlesey Athletic 3-2 at Memorial Park to go sixth.

Matt Eaton (2) and Rob Hook fired Bridge to their seventh win of the season.
