Ipswich II’s 2 – 3 Newmarket I’s23/11/2019 Goalscorers: Donald x 2, Dawson Newmarket escaped Ipswich with a  dramatic 3-2 victory thanks to a late Simon Donald strike that maintained their healthy form near the top of the Division 3NE.Ipswich started really well and Newmarket hung on for the first 10 minutes. And it was the hosts who took the lead through a penalty corner from a deliberate Harrington foot, a firm strike from slip left into the bottom right corner. Newmarket grew into the game, and drew a couple of good saves from the Ipswich keeper. Ipswich threw some dangerous […]

Newmarket I’s 3 – 3 Norwich City III’s 26/10/2019 Goalscorers: Donald, Holden and Wilson Newmarket dominated the opening exchanges of the match looking for a sixth consecutive league victory. They started strongly and dominated the early exchanges but saw numerous chances go begging before Simon Donald deflected home at a penalty corner. Norwich City were a young team with a few experienced heads, Newmarket thought they’d scored a second when Michael Skelton deflected home another corner only to be disappointed that the umpire disallowed the goal and asked the corner to be retaken. This seems to give Norwich City a […]

North Norfolk 1st XI    2 – 3   Newmarket 1st XI 19/10/2019 Goalscorers: Skelton x 2, Harrington The two teams with 100% records in division 3NE faced off at Cromer High School. Newmarket were without Centre-back Jordan Newnes and defensive destroyer Louis Hrebeniak as they looked for a fourth successive clean sheet, which would have been the first since the 1980’s. With Oliver Wade dropping into central defence and Chris Leggett returning the team expected to get a result. The game started at a frantic pace but soon settled into a rhythm which played out for the rest of the match. […]

Newmarket Men’s 1’s 6 – 0 IES II’s 12/10/2019 Goalscorers: Donald x 2, Wilson x 2, Dawson & Dykes With talismanic veteran striker Michael Skelton unavailable and Chris Leggett heading to Chesterfield (or is it Canterbury) the firsts called up Veteran striker Matthew Holden. Welcoming IES 2’s that were relegated into this league last summer Newmarket weren’t sure what to expect, push back was delayed as IES were stuck in traffic and when the game started 20 minutes late it looked like IES were still on the A14. IES sportingly passed to Newmarket from the push back, the ball was […]

Norwich Dragons II’s 0 – 5 Newmarket !’s 05/10/2019 Goalscorers: Dawson x 2, Skelton x 2, Wade Newmarket headed up the A11 for their second away league game of the season in Norwich. Newmarket finished one place above this Dragons side last season but did complete an emphatic 8-0 victory in March. With hindsight Newmarket could easily, and perhaps should, have scored as many this time round. The first half was quite even, both teams enjoyed periods of possession before Newmarket broke the deadlock. William Wilson intercepted a ball into their right winger and played it down the line to […]

Newmarket Mens’ 1’s 3 – 0 UEA 2’s Josh Dawson scored two on his return, after 24 months on the sidelines, as Newmarket beat the University of East Anglia 3-0 at home. Newmarket made a dream start inside five minutes as a high press from Michael Skelton presented Josh Dawson with the chance to open his account for the season after some quick one-two passing put him through on goal to slot into the bottom left corner. 1-0 UEA tried to mount an immediate revival but two saves in quick succession from keeper James Atkinson kept the away team at […]
