Derby win for pace-setting Wells
Wells Town 4, Holt United 2
The Seasiders, playing for the first time since November 20, retained their leadership of Anglian Combination Division One.
Wells officials had worked hard to make sure the match went ahead following severe damage to the changing rooms from burst water pipes.
Both sides looking rusty after the long lay-off. Although training sessions had taken place, nothing replaces match fitness.
