The Aston Berry Gt Yarmouth Sunday League
AFTER several weeks of inactivity normal service resumed with Windmill left flying the flag on the County Cup front as they recorded an impressive 4-1 win over a strong Bentinck Arms in the Intermediate Cup after going behind.
The league's other county representatives both went out.
Camden Tavern in the Senior Cup led twice but slumped to a 6-4 extra time defeat to 10-man AFC Wanderers.
Camden will rue the open goal they missed in the final minute of normal time to book their semi-final place.
In the junior competition Rumbold Arms were handsomely beaten 5-1 by Downham Town Old Boys.
