Fakenham Town 0, Thetford Town 2
THETFORD Town travelled to Fakenham looking to halt a run of five defeats and came away with three valuable points against the bottom club.
Town had the early pressure with really little effect. Pask for Fakenham had a shot saved by Bowden. Town got their first corner on 11 minutes which was cleared.
It was mainly a midfield battle for the first 20 minutes with the odd break. Good defending from Thompson denied Fakenham a chance.
Town's best move in that spell saw Mann send Walsh down the left and his cross was met by Dixon whose effort grazed the post.
