Fakenham Town pick up a point with Wroxham draw, while Downham Town suffer defeat at promotion rivals Thetford Town

Fakenham Town picked up another point last night while Downham Town suffered a second successive defeat.

The Ghosts drew 3-3 at Wroxham in the Isthmian League North while Downham Town suffered a 5-1 defeat at Thetford Town in the Thurlow Nunn Premier Division.

Andy Cunningham’s Fakenham Town side are now unbeaten in their last four after returning home with a point following a thrilling draw with their Norfolk rivals.

Louis Simmons gave Wroxham the lead in the 22nd minute before Valter Da Rocha levelled five minutes into the second half.

The hosts regained their advantage through Lucas Densley in the 73rd minute, but Fakenham hit back with two goals in three minutes from Finley Whiteley.

His strikes in the 80th and 83rd minutes put the Ghosts on course for all three points, only for Adam Crookes to snatch an 89th-minute equaliser for Wroxham.

Meanwhile, Downham’s title hopes suffered another setback following a heavy defeat at fellow promotion contenders Thetford.

Having seen their 14-match unbeaten league start ended by Yarmouth Town three days earlier, Downham were looking for an immediate response.

However, former King’s Lynn Town midfielder Cameron King fired Thetford ahead after 11 minutes.

Shaun Avis equalised 10 minutes later, but Jordan-Lee Buttle quickly restored the hosts’ advantage before King struck again on the stroke of half-time.

Downham’s misery was compounded late on as Ronnie Ford added a fourth five minutes from time before Theo Piggott completed the scoring in stoppage time.

The defeat leaves Downham fourth in the Premier Division, 10 points behind leaders March Town United, although they have a game in hand.
