Swaffham Town 0, Halstead Town 4
THE Pedlars failed to turn up for the first 25 minutes on Saturday, gifting their opponents three goals from basic defensive errors and flattering a mediocre side.

The goals came in the third, 19th and 24th minutes respectively, clearly Swaffham were not going to come back from that scoreline, but had to ensure further damage limitation.
When they finally switched on, play was far more even and sterling efforts from Chris Sainty, Matthew Parkinson and Lewis Hemeter saw the opponents wobble but fine keeping by Wooten the Halstead number one kept the Pedlars chasing that elusive goal.
