Norwich City are up to fourth in Premier B of the East Men's League after a 6-2 win at home against City of Peterborough II.

Meanwhile, Dereham went down to a 3-2 defeat against Havering that leaves them eighth in the table.

However, Harleston roused themselves for a memorable finale as Jack Hobbs latched on to an aerial from Archie Winter before slotting past the goalkeeper to seal the points.
