Irchester United 0 King's Lynn 5
20th March 2012
IT'S advantage King's Lynn Town in the United Counties League title race.
The Linnets saw off Irchester 5-0 last night, while title rivals Long Buckby suffered a 3-1 reverse at home to Newport Pagnell.
Goals from Jack Defty, Jason Turner, Ross Watson, Jamie Thurlbourne and Danny Beaumont sent The Walks outfit ten points clear of Long Buckby at the summit, with the Northamptonshire side having three games in hand on Lynn.
Such was Lynn�s dominance, they could even afford the luxury of a Jamie Thurlbourne penalty miss during a one-sided second period.
