Woodbridge had no answer to the pace of 17-year-old striker Robbie Willmott, who looks as though he has a very bright future in the game. In addition to notching a hat-trick he struck the crossbar from fully 30 yards with a free-kick and went close on no less than six other occasions!

Marcus Garnham had already saved from Willmott after he cut in from the left before his pace took him clear of the Woodbridge defence and around the keeper to open the scoring with 11 minutes played.

Allicion Blake failed to get enough power in an effort to trouble Sam Beagle, who then lost possession as he dribbled out of his area but then scrambled back to save Tony Boto’s weak effort when the unmarked Blake was calling for the ball.

Woodbridge had only themselves to blame when they fell further behind in the 34th minute as Ben Miller scythed down Craig Blussens in full flight just inside the area and Willmott sent Marcus Garnham the wrong way from the spot.

Miller, who was booked, was substituted at half time along with Ben Garnham as Woodbridge tried to find a foothold in the game, but any such hopes were laid to rest just six minutes after the restart when Woodbridge lost possession from their own corner and CRC broke with both pace and precision for Willmott to sidefoot home for his hat-trick.

Marcus Garnham saved twice more from Willmott, who also curled a free-kick just wide before Sam Culter’s low 30-yard drive in the 75th minute underlined the home team’s superiority on an afternoon Woodbridge will quickly want to forget.
