Anglian Combination Premier Division leaders Cromer maintained their three-point lead at the top despite losing at Wroxham Reserves 2-0 on Saturday.

Beccles rose one place to sixth with a 2-1 win over visiting North Walsham. Scoring for the hosts were Anthony Martin and Alan Remblance, with Anthony Davies netting for the Angels.
