Free-scoring Norwich United extended their lead at the top of the Thurlow Nunn Premier Division to nine points with a 5-0 thumping of reigning champions Hadleigh United.

Ben Thompson got Norwich off the mark with a tidy finish before Matthew Blake doubled the advantage. Thompson then grabbed his second of the afternoon and Matthew Daniels effectively sealed the points with a fourth. There was still time for Paul Cook, on as a second half substitute, to complete the rout as Damian Hilton's men consolidated their status as title favourites. The Planters have scored 16 goals in their last four games, conceding just one in the process against Diss last month.

Gorleston and Diss had to settle for a share of the spoils at Emerald Park after a 0-0 draw.

Peter Lambert had the best chance of the afternoon for the Greens after he was set up by Nathan Russell, but he side-footed over with the goal at his mercy. It wasn't to be Lambert's afternoon with the striker having an effort chalked off 11 minutes from time as the referee had already blown ofr an earlier infringement.

The former Lowestoft Town midfielder completed his hat-trick in the second half before Mitch Forbes added a fourth.

Downham pulled another goal back but it wasn't enough as they suffered their first home defeat of the season. Yarmouth's win puts them up to seventh in the table with games in hand on most of the sides above them.

The visitors started strongly and took the lead after six minutes and they doubled their lead before half-time.

Swaffham responded in the second half as Matthew Castellan pulled one back before substitute Matthew Parkinson ensured a share of the spoils.

In the closing minutes it could have been three for the Pedlars, Alex Vincent grazing the crossbar with a free kick from 25 yards and the visiting keeper having to make two good stops to deny Swaffham.

Dereham Reserves' match at Needham Market Reserves and King's Lynn Reserves' clash at Woodbridge both fell foul of the weather.
