Thetford Town have been members of the Eastern Counties League from 1935 to 1937 and 1963 to the present day - they have never been champions with a best placed finish being runner's up to Sudbury Town in the 1989/90 season. 

The Brecklanders are top of the table having lost just three games all season but they are closely followed by Hadleigh United, Woodbridge Town and Harleston Town all just five points below. They have scored the most goals (53) and have the best goal difference currently at +31. 

George Diggens (13 goals in 15 games) and Dan Gilchrist (16 goals in 21 games) have had excellent seasons so far. 

Diggens was signed from First Division North Champions in the summer with Gilchrist counting AFC Sudbury, Bury Town, Stanway Rovers and Brightlingsea Regent as former clubs. 

The current top three's form has improved remarkably since last season as they finished in 14th, 15th and 11th place.

Will it be a battle between The Brecklanders, The Brettsiders and The Woodpeckers or will another team make their way to the top of the table.
