King's Lynn Take Top Spot

8 Nov 2017 By Jack Moore

King`s Lynn Town returned to the top of the Evo-Stik League South Premier table on Tuesday night.

The Linnets were dominant in the opening 45 minutes on a dreadful evening in north Oxfordshire.

A Michael Clunan penalty after 25 minutes gave the Linnets the breakthrough and a Cameron Norman strike from the edge of the area after 34 minutes doubled their advantage.

Only the woodwork denied Lynn`s Tom Ward a third goal shortly after the second half started. However, Banbury improved as the half wore on and pulled a goal back on 65 minutes with a Darren Pond header.

The Puritans battled hard for an equaliser which never came and it allowed Kings` Lynn to overhaul Kettering Town at the summit.
