Norwich City II 2-3 St Ives I
ST IVES made their visit to Norwich worthwhile with an opening day league win.
They fell behind to an early score when the hosts made the most of a short corner, but soon settled and Dave Land began to pull the strings in midfield.
Derrick Pope brought the scores back level and a short corner in the closing minutes of the first half saw Darren Coles hit the roof of the net.
