Bradenham Wands Reserves 3, Narborough 1.
Bradenham Reserves gave a good account of themselves to win through to the semi-final of the Ben Smith Cup against first division Narborough.
After just 12 mins a good Bradenham move on the right left Ashby through and his excellent lob beat the visitors' keeper to give the home side the lead. Ten mins later Gamble shot wide of the Narborough left hand post when clean through, but the visitors equalised soon after when their no.6 volleyed home brilliantly from an accurate corner. Within a minute Bradenham were ahead again when that man Ashby this time beat the visitors' keeper to the ball after some good approach work. Just before half time Ashby headed over when well placed for what looked likely to give him a well-deserved hat-trick. H.T 2-1.
On 55 mins Foster's shot was well saved by the visitors' keeper, and soon after Ashby was substituted for Brennan. On 70 mins Seabright coolly slotted home a penalty which was awarded for a nudge in the box. Foster then headed over and a great left foot shot by Seabright was well saved. A fine pass from Seabright found Dagg whose shot was deflected over the bar.
Sexton had an excellent game in the Bradenham defence, and Narborough never gave up and played their part in an entertaining match.
Final score 3 - 1.

HELLESDON 4, BRADENHAM WANDERERS 2
Bradenham made the short trip to Hellesdon for this top of the table clash, having won on both previous meetings between these sides this season.
Hellesdon bombarded the visitors' defence right from the start and within two minutes took the lead. Bradenham's slow start continued and within 15 minutes they found themselves 3-0 down. Slow starts have become something of a habit in recent games but they usually recover quickly, and towards the end of the first half Craig Clarke opened Bradenham's account with a well-taken goal.
H.T. 3-1.
The visitors started the second half well and skipper Ricky Forder scored a second, but with the emphasis on playing 'catch-up' this left the Bulldogs' rearguard exposed and Hellesdon added a fourth.
With 15 minutes left Bradenham were awarded a penalty which was unfortunately missed, and in the end Hellesdon ran out worthy winners.
On a positive note a number of other results went in Bradenham's favour and there were a number of good individual performances, particularly those of Frappell and Derbyshire.
This was the Wanderers first league defeat of the season, a great credit to manager Les Tufts and the club in general, and hopefully it will prove to be a springboard to another run of good results. Les is confident he can lift his team for a run of tough matches coming up in the next few weeks.
Final score 4-2.
