Magpies wait on weather
The weather continued to hold sway on the Norfolk Senior Cup this week with midweek ties, including those involving Dereham Town and Fakenham Town, beaten by the freeze.
The Magpies now aim for a quarter-finals place on Saturday when they visit Gorleston's Emerald Park while the Ghosts play their star tie with Norwich City at Clipbush Park to Tuesday, December 14 (7.45pm).
A coach leaves Aldiss Park, Dereham, at 1.30pm on Saturday for Gorleston, and on the same day Dereham Reserves attempt to play their Norfolk Junior Cup home tie with Caister Reserves.
In the same competition, Fakenham Reserves are due to entertain Wymondham Reserves.
All eyes will be on the weather to see if another virtual wipe-out of fixtures will take place.
