 NORWICH UNITED 2 WOODBRIDGE TOWN 1          27 August 2011

After twenty three minutes a right wing cross by Poppy was headed wide by Blyth for Norwich. Forty minutes gone when Josh Mayhew was tripped when clean through but no penalty was given. With the last kick of the first half Norwich went ahead with a disputed penalty after a dubious Ryan Stafford foul, resultant penalty was slotted home by Cutajar.

After fifty minutes Norwich went two nil up when a right wing cross by Mustapha was dispatched for a second goal by Cutajar. Woodbridge pulled a goal back on eighty five minutes when a left wing cross by Ben Seaman was headed home by Paul Hart. Good efforts by James Hubbard and Josh Mayhew were blocked in the final minutes but Norwich held on.
