Neither tam could gain the ini- tial upper hand in the hard-fought contest and the first half ended scoreless.

Eas: division winners Lynnwood pressed for the equalizer, but Nor- van’s Dave Stockdale pounced on a loose ball in front of the net and slipped in the insurance marker.

Defenders Peter Phillips, Colin Atkinson and Robin Elliott were outstanding in helping. goalkeeper Dan Reilly kecp the league’s most potent offence off the score sheet,
