Downham Town take on Norwich United in the Norfolk Senior Cup final at Carrow Road.

This year’s Norfolk Senior Cup sees Downham Town take on Norwich United on Monday 30th April. KO 7:30pm, at Carrow Road.

Downham started their cup run with a bye in the first round. In the second round they faced a tough Swaffham Town side; the score was 3-3 at full time meaning the game headed to extra time. Both sides scored a goal in extra time meaning the score after 120 minutes was 4-4. Downham then eventually won 5-4 on penalties meaning they progressed to the third round where they met Norwich CEYMS. They breezed past Norwich CEYMS by winning comfortably 3-0. Town then faced a difficult away trip to Great Yarmouth Town which they won 3-2 putting them one game from the final. Downham faced a side from a much lower division in the shape of Wymondham Town in the semi-final, which they comfortably won 3-0 putting them into this year’s Senior Cup Final.

Norwich United entered this year’s Senior Cup in the third round when they met Sheringham FC. They had a comfortable afternoon against Sheringham as they won convincingly 7-1. In the quarter-final United faced much tougher opposition in King’s Lynn. However, this didn’t stop them brushing them aside as they won 5-0 against the Linnets. In the semi-final, United played Dereham Town at The FDC, Field of Dreams. Once again the opposition were no match to the Planters as they cruised into the final beating the Magpies 4-0.

This year’s Senior Cup Final is guaranteed to be a great game of football!
