Three-mendous play from Tangerines
DISS Town continued their push to gain promotion from Ridgeons Division One with a third successive 3-0 win, this time at Saffron Walden.
The Tangerines will hope for more of the same this Saturday when they visit Long Melford (ko 3pm).
Saffron Walden 0, Diss Town 3
Saffron Walden are a difficult team to beat at Catons Lane so The Tangerines will regard this as a top-quality win.

Walden started the game well and forced Matty Webster, back in the Diss team after missing the last five games due to injury, to save a Brad Green shot and a Joe Murphy header.
Stefan Gilding was influential at both ends of the field. He made a perfectly-timed tackle in defence just as Graeme Turner seemed set to shoot and score.
