Tigers to the four once again

Free-scoring Holbeach United came from 2-0 and 3-1 down to seal an impressive win at home to Swaffham Town in the Thurlow Nunn Division One North.
For the fourth game in five, the Tigers scored four to edge past the visitors.
After a dreadful start where they found themselves two behind Holbeach responded through Connor Pilbeam five minutes before the break.
Around the hour mark Matthew Hayden completed his hat-trick for Swaffham to give his side a two-goal advantage again.
But three goals in the last 20 minutes swung the game Holbeach’s way.
Firstly Will Barnes netted before Pilbeam’s second brought them level.
That was before Geroge Frost grabbed the winner to give Holbeach the points and move them up to fifth and in to the play-off spots with seven wins from their first ten games.
The Tigers were due to host Norwich CBS at Carter’s Park on Wednesday (result not known at time of going to press) before a long trip to Essex to take on Dussindale and Hellesdon on Saturday.

Tigers: Rigby, Yambasu, Cook, Greenacre, Ling, Oldham, Carter, Barnes, Pilbeam, Prentic, Frost. Subs: Thorne, Harrison, Johnson, Robertson, Coote.
