Acle United beat Aylsham 2-0 with two goals from Lee Mason to wrestle back second spot in the Premier table.

Unbeaten now for over 6 months and on a rain softened pitch before another large crowd, the A's played some wonderful football and but for Roger in the away goal could have trebled the margin.
Early on Dugdale was put through on goal but his shot rebounded off the keeper to go out for a goal kick.
Ryan John then played the perfect ball inside the full back, but the ball was put out for a corner.
Lewis ,so often creating things up front, chased a lost cause , but his persistence gave Dugdale a clear shot on goal which went over the bar.
Lewis was again the provider but again Dugdale saw his shot beaten away.
A long throw from Tommy Dade saw pinball in the 6 yard box before the shot was blocked on the line.
Both full backs had impressive games for Acle as Voutt was swinging the ball into the box on several occasions, while John was galloping down the touchline with such pace the Aylsham full back was at a loss to prevent him delivering dangerous crosses.
Voutt almost found Lewis with a diagonal ball across the park, before John crossed to Mason whose shot was deflected out for a corner,
Acle were pressing for the first goal and although Norbury saw his shot blocked and Lewis headed on to the post the teams turned round all square at 0-0.
After the break the Roger show continued with a series of fantastic saves, none more so than when Dugdale worked himself some space but the keeper's outstretched hand kept the visitors in it.
Amsumana went wide before the cultured Bartram split the Aylsham defence with the perfect ball. Watkinson played a telling ball down the line but John couldn't quite keep it in.
Voutt then crossed for Mason who headed the ball back across goal with such precision the ball at last beat the Aylsham keeper into the top corner for 1-0
But if Mason was Man of the Match up front, Tommy Dade returning from a broken leg last year was in stupendous form at the back with his desire to win every tackle and header he competed for.
Ryan John then sent in another perfect cross for Mason to volley home for 2-0. At the other end KIrby made a fantastic save before Mason was inches away from claiming his hat-trick.
Aylsham had contributed much to the game and whilst the A's performance was much improved from the recent visit to Waveney, the dangerous Oliver hit the post for Aylsham before almost scoring again with probably their only two chances in the second period although both were in time added on.
