Wivenhoe Locked Out

Ridgeons League club Wivenhoe Town`s future is surrounded by uncertainty.

A statement on the club`s website says that the trustees have entered their Broad Lane ground and changed the locks, claiming that the club owes them £10,000.

This is denied by the Dragons, who say that the matter has been placed in the hands of their solicitors.

Wivenhoe are rock bottom of the Premier Division with just six points - one less than second-bottom Woodbridge Town - but they have two games in hand.

Ironically, Wivenhoe recorded their first Premier Division win of the season last Saturday - a 4-2 success at home to Newmarket Town.

Only one team is set to be relegated from the Premier Division following the withdrawal earlier this season of first King`s Lynn Reserves and more recently Harwich & Parkeston.

Tuesday Round Up

In the Zamaretto League Division One Midlands on Tuesday night, fourth in the table Slough Town, a James Hatch goal behind after just 7 minutes, scored three times in the final 14 minutes to win 3-1 at `home` against Leighton Town.

Sean Sonner eventually equalised on 77 minutes and then Elliott Buchanan and Steve Sinclair won it for the Rebels.

Chesham United consolidated their place in the play-off positions when a goal shortly before the break by Dave Fotheringham gave them a 1-0 home win over Beaconsfield SYCOB who have now gone nine games without a win.

Sutton Coldfield Town maintained their play-off challenge with a 4-2 win at Bedworth United but had to withold a late fight back from the home side who scored twice in the final 10 minutes.

It looked plain sailing for the Royals after goals from Jake Murrall, Jamille Matt, Ed Booth and Richard Ball had given them their comfortable lead.

However, Levi Ramsay and a Jai Stanley penalty just gave them a little scare.

Arlesey Town raced into a three-goal lead in the first 14 minutes on the way to a comfortable 4-0 home win over Rothwell Town.

They were a goal up after just 3 minutes, courtesy of Ross Hanley, while Wayne O'Sullivan added the second 4 minutes later. And when Ryan Frater netted the third in the 14th minute there was no way back for the Bones.

Woodford United were held to a 1-1 home draw by Biggleswade Town – Neil King putting the home side ahead on 3 minutes with Brett Donnelly replying in the 35th - and Soham Town Rangers took a point from a 2-2 draw at AFC Sudbury.

A goal in the 2nd minute from Sam Clarke was cancelled out by Michael Simpson on 20 minutes before Danny Brown put Sudbury back in front 4 minutes before the break.

Soham equalised in the 63rd minute through Dubi Ogbonna to take away a point.

Romulus won 2-1 at home against Bromsgrove Rovers with goals from Matt Brown and Lea Brown, while Marlow scored on the hour through Jon Couch to win 1-0 at home against second from bottom Barton Rovers.

The Second Of Three Tonight

AFC play their second of three home games in six days tonight when they have a local derby against Soham Town Rangers.

Manager Nicky Smith wil be hoping his team can take all three points after the 1-1 draw against Atherstone Town on Saturday.

There are likely to be changes to the side as Smith rests some players with the games coming thick and fast. Rhys Darg and Sam Clarke are likely to be in the starting line up after injury and suspension. Saturday's man of the match eighteen year old local lad Shane Barnes is also likely to keep his place, with goalscorer Ben Barnsley sure to feature.

It appears that popular striker Lee Ifield may well have broken his arm for a second time this season.

It's To Be King's Lynn Town

King`s Lynn Town was formally adopted on Friday night as the official name for the new-look Linnets.

More than 100 supporters attended the club's first fans' forum since chairman Buster Chapman was awarded the lease on the council-owned Walks Stadium.

King's Lynn Town was the overwhelming choice over Lynn Town and the club's trading name Lynn FC following a public vote and ballot.

Chapman and operations manager Jonathan Chapman faced some tough questioning during the 90-minute meeting regarding their plans for the re-launched club which will enter the Non League pyramid for the 2010/11 season.

Club officials expect to find out in May which league the FA have indicated they wish to place King's Lynn Town.

The Ridgeons Premier Division remains a preferred option - despite sizeable opposition from member clubs who ultimately will all vote on whether to accept the Linnets.
