Battling performance earns a point despite only having 9 men

Problems with player availability meant the 3rd team only had a team of 9 to go away to Watton. In the early exchanges the game was very even. North Norfolk took the lead though through Michael Cox and miraculously doubled it a few minutes later through David Duncombe. This seemed to shock Watton back into the game and they managed to level up before half time to go in at two a piece. After the break Watton started to make their two man advantage show and force North Norfolk on the back foot. Despite this a rare attack lead to a short corner which was put away by Jonny Mills to put North Norfolk in line for an unlikely win. But as before, Watton rallied and equalised once again and the game finished three all with the 3rd team keeping pace with the other teams at the top of the league
