Woodbridge Town produced an amazing comeback to win the game after being three goals down at half time.

They found themselves two goals down after only three minutes when in only the first minute Valter Rocha lobbed over Woodbridge keeper Tom Sills to open the scoring. Thetford made it 2-0 when Kyle Parish beat the offside trap and finished with an accurate shot.   Rocha then shot over after 13 minutes as the away team dominated the early stages. Liam Scopes shot went over for the home team after 16 minutes. Arron Holden then came close after 23 minutes for Thetford. Luke Bailey's cross was well held by Sills after 38 minutes. Mark Roper's header went just over after 40 minutes and Scopes' shot was on target after 40 minutes for the Woodpeckers but the away team scored a third after 42 minutes when Parish headed home from the edge of the area.
 
Woodbridge were a different team in the second half and Scopes' effort went just over after 47 minutes but a minute later his header was deflected in by Aaron Churchyard to pull a goal back. Scopes' header was deflected wide for a corner after 53 minutes as Woodbridge piled on the pressure. They promptly made it 3-2 after 54 minutes when James Churchill's corner was again met by Churchyard who easily beat Thetford keeper Ian Fancett. Roper's cross then hit the bar after 64 minutes and Scopes again tested Fancett after 71 minutes. Roper's free kick went just over after 80 minutes but Churchill hit an accurate shot from an angle to equalise after 84 minutes.  James Hubbard's persistence after 88 minutes paid off when he beat the defender and finished superbly to make it 4-3 and all credit to Woodbridge who proved a game is not over at 3-0.

This was Haverhill's first win for four weeks, their last one being over the same side as they completed the double over Woodbridge

and returned to the home form they have been missing of late.

Haverhill took the lead in the 18th minute following a through ball from Ross Elkins, Jack Wilkinson drilling a blockbuster 25 yard effort into the far top right corner past goalkeeper Tom Sills.

Some excellent saves from home 'keeper Ed Wootten kept his side in the lead until they doubled it after 56 minutes, Neil Cogger being played in and, using the outside of his left boot 15 yards out, he left Sills unable to do anything but slow the ball with his hand on its way to goal.
The final goal came three minutes later from the penalty spot, Ben Miller bringing down Jack Higgs in the Woodbridge penalty area and the returning Dan Cornwell netting from the kick.

In the dying seconds Woodbridge were denied a penalty kick when Hubbard was pushed to the ground inside the penalty area but no penalty was given.       

The Woodpeckers more than matched their opponents but finishing was the difference between the teams. 
 
Woodbridge started well and the dangerous Aaron Greenwood was fouled just outside the penalty area after 11 minutes with the resulting free kick going over the bar. However after 13 minutes the winger was brought down yet again inside the area. Liam Scopes stepped up but his penalty was well parried by Walsham keeper Duncan Mcanally.

Paul Berry's free kick after 39 minutes was again saved by Wilton. Dereham's Craig Bussens effort after 42 minutes was deflected wide for a corner but a minute later Matt Howard swooped on a loose ball to beat Glyn Dixon in the Woodbridge goal to put the away team two up.
 
Dereham effectively killed the game off after 46 minutes when Bussens' shot from an acute angle made it 3-0. Tuttle efforts were well saved by Dixon after 72 minutes but Woodbridge never gave up and Mark Roper's shot from the edge of the area pulled a goal back after 75 minutes. Gilfedder's free kick after 85 minutes was tipped over by Wilton and perhaps Woodbridge were unlucky to lose by two goals.
 

Ely started well and after 2 minutes unfortunate Kelsey Trotter headed the ball into his own goal to open the scoring. Ross Gilfedder's shot after 13 minutes was well saved by Ely keeper Lee Pacey. Ely came close again after 18 minutes when Nick Impey's shot was well saved by Glyn Dixon. Ben Miller was replaced after 32 minutes with a knee injury after a questionable tackle which left the referee in a conundrum with the challenge perhaps worthy of a red card. Just before half time the home team equalised when Gilfedder was brought down inside the penalty area and Liam Scopes stepped up to convert to send Pacey the wrong way.

Craig Stuart's shot after 50 minutes was on target and Impey was again denied by Dixon after 52 minutes. Austen Diaper's shot went wide after 65 minutes.

His shot failed to trouble Glyn Dixon after 15 minutes. James Hubbard's shot was blcoked after 19 minutes for the Woodpeckers and his header was on target after 31 minutes.

Suffolk F.A. Premier Cup Quarter Final

after dominating possession at Victory Road.

The effervescent Jonathan Fyatt's shot after 7 minutes tested Leiston keeper Shaun Phillips. Adam Clarke's cross for the visitors was well saved again by Phillips. Woodbridge were playing the better football and Tom Trevivian's cross after 29 minutes was headed just over by Fryatt. Leiston were always dangerous from Corner kicks and Stuart Boardley's cross was headed wide by Joe Jefford after 31 minutes. Fryatt's second penalty appeal in the last two matches after 34 minutes was in vain as the referee waved play on. Leiston took the lead against the run of play after 40 minutes when Boardley's corner was met by Leiston captain David Head who made no mistake.
 
Leiston came close after 63 minutes when Boardley's corner was again met by Jefford but his header hit the post. After 70 minutes Josh Merritt hit the same post from 25 yards but the Woodpeckers deserved their luck and dominated the last 20 minutes with Ryan Stafford's curling effort just wide after 74 minutes. Substitute James Churchill's efforts over the bar after 81 minutes and his shot on target after 82 minutes failed to beat Phillips. Woodbridge never gave up and Clarke's pass was met by Ross Gilfedder in the dying seconds and his shot again tested Phillips.     

A low cross by Ryan Stafford after 7 minutes was well saved by Hadleigh keeper Darren Moyes. Jerrell Layne found himself clean through for the visitors with Glyn Dixon to beat but his shot went wide after 8 minutes. Jonathan Fryatt's shot after 13 minutes was again well saved by Moyes and in an uneventful first half his appeals for a penalty after 38 minutes were unsuccessful.

Hadleigh took the lead after 48 minutes when Lee Mclone swooped on a loose ball to beat Dixon. Mclone came close again after 50 minutes but his shot was well saved by Dixon. Ross Gilfedder's shot from 30 yards went over the bar and his shot after 58 minutes was saved by Moyes. Mclone again came close on the hour but his shot went wide. Stafford's shot after 65 minutes was on target for the Woodpeckers. Substitute James Hubbard's shot after 80 minutes was saved by Moyes and Woodbridge piled on the pressure and after 82 minutes they deservedly equalised when Kelsey Trotter's bullet header hit the crossbar and Gilfedder reacted first to the loose ball to beat Moyes. The dangerous Hubbard's header was well saved by Moyes after 84 minutes as Woodbridge came close again and Trotter's shot was wide after 86 minutes but Hadleigh held on for the draw.

with less than a quarter of an hour left.  
 
A quiet start to the game until after 25 minutes when Ross Gilfedder's 30 yard shot was turned over the bar by Stanway keeper Paul Rutherford. The visitors took the lead after 29 minutes when Terry Rymer's shot from the edge of the penalty area beat Woodbridge keeper Glyn Dixon. Jonathan Fryatt's cross after 43 minutes was deflected over by Gilfedder in an uneventful first half.
 
Rymer's shot was on target after 49 minutes for Stanway but the Woodpeckers replied after 53 minutes when Paul Berry's shot hit the crossbar with Rutherford beaten. Gilfedder's free kick after 58 minutes was saved by Rutherford, but the visitors made it 2-0 after 58 minutes when Rymer's cross was met by Lewis Bentley who made no mistake. The Woodbridge fightback began after 77 minutes when Substitute Ben Miller, almost with his first touch flicked in a corner to make it 2-1. Woodbridge equalised after 80 minutes when Paul Berry's shot was deflected in by Kelsey Trotter to make it 2-2. Woodbridge were now a different team and Liam Scopes came close after 83 minutes but his shot went wide as they searched for the winner. This duly came after 89 minutes when Gilfedder was brought down inside the area and Scopes stepped up to send Rutherford the wrong way to seal an amazing win.    

The visitors took the lead after only 8 minutes when free scoring Ben Cranfield's overhead kick beat Woodbridge keeper Tom Sills. Woodbridge quickly replied but Ross Gilfedder's shot a minute later was just wide. James Hubbard's header was saved by Felixstowe keeper Danny Crump after 10 minutes and he also saved Kelsey Trotter's effort after 21 minutes as the Woodpeckers pressed for an equaliser. Felixstowe always looked dangerous on the break and Jamie Cole's shot after 23 minutes hit the crossbar. Trotter's header on the half hour was again saved by Crump in an evenly matched first half. 
 
Woodbridge endured a nightmare start to the second half and Felixstowe made it 2-0 after 47 minutes when Cole finished superbly from an acute angle. After 51 minutes it was 3-0 when former Woodpecker Lewis Pemberton's cross was met by Cranfield who easily beat Sills to score his sixth goal in his last three games. Gilfedder came close to reducing the deficit after 52 minutes but his efforts were both saved by Crump. Woodbridge pulled a goal back when an audacious cross by Adam Clarke was headed home by Hubbard. Cole's shot after 64 minutes was well saved by Sills as Felixstowe came close to a fourth. Hubbard efforts after 72 and 83 minutes came close but the Woodpeckers were unable to add to the scoreline.    

Second half underway and Woodbridge looked strong, some good play and a good chance which James Hubbard hit high, this left some space in Woodbridge's defence which Norwich looked to use, but a last ditch challenge from Craig Stuart saw Woodbridge safe. The rest of the game was a midfield battle of who could keep the ball longest and create space and in the 89th minute this is what Woodbridge did, with a great run from Ben Miller into the box and being brought down for a Woodbridge Town penalty. Substitute Liam Scopes stepped up to the spot and converted with a neat finish into the bottom corner. Could Woodbridge snatch a winner? This is what they attempted, with a great effort from James Hubbard winning Woodbridge a corner which was deflected wide for another corner. After 3 corners the ball was cleared and the full time whistle blown.

due to injuries and unavailability but were unable to gain a deserved second goal and found Godmanchester keeper Rob Mackney in inspired form.

The Woodpeckers replied after 15 minutes when Scopes' 25 yard effort went wide. Scopes came close again after 22 minutes but his shot was saved by Mackney. Ryan Stafford's free kick was on target after 26 minutes and Scopes' through ball found Churchyard but his shot went over the bar as Woodbridge pressed for an equaliser after 29 minutes. Churchyard came close again after 34 minutes but his shot was cleared by the Godmanchester defence.

Churchyard came close again after 56 minutes but his shot was deflected wide by Mackney. Scopes' shot after 61 minutes was again saved by Mackney after 61 minutes but Woodbridge pressure finally paid off after 65 minutes when a dummy by Scopes led to Churchyard expertly finishing past Mackney to level the scores. A minute later Aaron Mackay' shot was well saved by Sills as Godmanchester caught Woodbridge on the break. Aaron Greenwood's cross was met by Churchyard after 74 minutes but his header went wide. In the dying seconds Kelsey Trotter's pass to Scopes and his shot was well saved by Mackney yet again and Scopes' powerful header hit the bar but Godmanchester held on for the draw.
 

Missing the injured Paul Berry, Paul Hart and Mark Ray and with Glyn Dixon suspended and Liam Scopes playing as a centre forward the Woodpeckers were unlucky not to pick up all three points.
 
Kirkley Centre forward Ryan Crisp's shot went over the bar in the second minute. Woodbridge replied after 5 minutes when James Hubbard's shot failed to trouble Kirkley keeper Jordan Smith. Scopes' header was on target after 12 minutes and Adam Clarke's cross was met by Hubbard but his shot went wide. Scopes was again on target after 24 minutes but the dangerous Crisp's cross shot was well saved by Woodbridge keeper Tom Sills a minute later. Ryan Stafford's corner was then met by Darcy D'eath but his header failed to hit the target after 36 minutes. On the stroke of half time Woodbridge opened the scoring when Ben Miller's shot was deflected in by Scopes.
 
After 58 minutes Michael Tacon's header came close for the visitors but Crisp made no mistake after 61 minutes with a powerful header past Sills. After 66 minutes the Woodpeckers retook the lead when Hubbard's cross was met by Ryan Stafford who made no mistake with an excellent volley. Hubbard came close again after 70 minutes when his header crashed against the crossbar. After 84 minutes Kyle Baker's effort went over the bar for the visitors and the hard working Hubbard's industry created the chance for Woodbridge but his shot went wide. After 88 minutes the visitors equalised when Tarren Grint's cross was headed in by Crisp. Substitute Aaron Greenwood's pinpoint cross was met by Scopes in the last seconds but he failed to find the target.  

In a tight first half, the visitors had the first of few chances after ten minutes. Aaron Churchyard’s shot squirmed through goalkeeper Josh Pope’s grasp, but Adarian Judge recovered to clear off the line. The home side grew stronger as the half wore on, inspired by the excellent James Paterson, and it was his tackle that led to the opening goal on 26 minutes. The ball ran to Andrew Wood, who dispatched a stunning strike into the roof of the net from 25 yards.

The defining spell of the match came in the three minutes just after the hour mark. First a Paterson pass released Wood on goal, but a heavy touch let down the striker, and within 30 seconds Michael Harvey tripped Tom Trevivian at the other end to concede a penalty, which was duly converted to equalise. But parity lasted just a minute, with Kris Thomas bursting down the right flank before delivering a perfect cross for Wood to head home. Without the leadership of skipper Dave Werthmann, forced off by injury in the first half, Mildenhall dropped very deep in the final 20 minutes as the away side pushed hard for a leveller. But Harvey and Judge defended manfully and Woodbridge had only two Paul Hart headers – which both drifted wide – to show for their efforts.

The Woodpeckers might have gone ahead after just 3 minutes when they were awarded a penalty for an apparent trip.

The Dragons were limited to occasional breakaways whilst Robins saved well from a Gilfedder header and with his feet when Churchyard was through on goal.

Woodbridge continued their neat passing game in the second half but on 53 minutes conceded a free kick on the right. Blanchett whipped in a cross which appeared to be diverted into the goal by Dadds; Dadds was flagged offside but the ball was adjudged to have gone straight in. Woodbridge were rattled by the goal and Wivenhoe took advantage as within a minute Dadds crossed from the right and Tom Moore crashed the ball into the roof of the net at the far post.

Blake's shot hit the post after 65 minutes and Seaman's shot went wide. Jordan Seaman's shot was saved by Otley late in the game but CRC easily held on for the three points.

Paul Berry's efforts after 5 and 12 minutes were wide of the goal as Woodbridge began the game well. Martin Westcott's effort after 14 minutes and Jack Durey's shot after 18 minutes for the away team were saved by Glyn Dixon. Mark Ray's header from a Berry cross was diverted over by Aaron Churchyard after 20 minutes and a Tom Trevivian shot was well saved by Long Melford keeper Sam Mansfield. Woodbridge pressure paid off after 23 minutes when Ben Seaman's shot from just inside the area beat Mansfield to open the scoring. Churchyard's header after 41 minutes was pushed onto the crossbar by Mansfield as Woodbridge dominated the first half.
 
Berry's shot was on target after 52 minutes and 2 minutes later his cross was headed in by Ray to make it 2-0. Seaman's shot tested Mansfield and Ray's header went wide after 66 minutes. After 77 minutes Long Melford pulled a disputed goal back when Substitute Will Wingfield beat the offside trap to beat Dixon. After 80 minutes Seaman's cross was headed over by Ben Miller, but after 83 minutes Long Melford equalised when Dan Statham's shot flew past Dixon. Seaman's shot and Kelsey Trotter's effort came close as Woodbridge pressed for the winner. In the last seconds Wingfield found space inside the area and he made no mistake to win the game for the away team.   

After 14 minutes on a very bare and dusty pitch at the Rush Green Bowl Paul Berry's shot was blocked by a defender. After 38 minutes FC Clacton came close when Aaron Condon's shot went just wide and  a minute later Josh Grimes shot hit the crossbar. The Woodpeckers took the lead after 42 minutes when Ben Seaman's swerving shot from the edge of the penalty area beat Ed Wootten in the Clacton goal. On the stroke of half time Kelsey Trotter's effort from 25 yards went wide.

Tom Trevivian's shot was wide after 52 minutes and  Allicion Blake's thunderous shot after 53 minutes was well saved by Wootten. After 54 minutes Blake was perhaps luckily shown a yellow card for pushing an opponent to the ground after a bad tackle and  this seemed to help Clacton who after 58 minutes equalised as Billy Wales shot from the edge of the area beat Glyn Dixon. Blake's shot was wide on the hour & after 69 minutes he hit the post with a 20 yard shot with the rebound struck home by Mark Ray but ruled Offside. After 72 minutes Jake Clowsley's shot went just wide for the home team. After 85 minutes Ben Seaman's shot was just over and  Blake hit the post yet again as the visitors pressed for a winner.
