Blueharts 6, Dereham 4
Dereham Men never recovered from a disastrous start in the East League Premier A Division.
The hosts were three up inside six minutes and held that lead until the break. Blueharts moved 5-0 ahead with 10 minutes to play but then lost three players to the sin-bin and Dereham scored four quick goals through Mark Timm, Andy Lawrence and Laurie Hill (2) to set up a thrilling finale.
As Dereham pushed forward looking for what would have been an astonishing equaliser, Blueharts completed the scoring.
