Paul Hart, Lee O'Neill, and Ben Seaman were missing from the Woodbridge line up that had outplayed Stowmarket Town three days earlier but Cornard United who finished last season seven points behind Stowmarket proved a much tougher nut to crack. With Allicion Blake still away, Liam Hillyard started in the Woodbridge front line with Captain Jamie Scales and Ben Garnham returning after missing the the Stowmarket match through illness.

At the start it appeared if Woodbridge might achieve a similar tally to that earned at Greens Meadow controlling possession during the first five minutes earning a free kick that was drilled low and spilled by the Cornard keeper but the rebound fell to Paul Berry and was comfortably dispatched. Thereafter however, goal action during the first half was restricted with the best chance for Woodbridge a fierce drive by Tom Trevivian that was well tipped over by the Cornard keeper.

Both sides had opportunities to advance the scoreline in the second period but Woodbridge were constantly frustrated by the Cornard defence and rarely had a clear sight of goal whilst Cornard ended the match looking the team most likely to score.

The visiting spectators who outnumbered their home counterparts will no doubt have been satisfied with another clean sheet but will also be eagerly awaiting the season's approach when Allicion Blake, Lee O'Neill, Ben Seaman and Paul Hart contest for a place together in a starting line up.

Woodbridge continue their pre season fixtures on Saturday 4th August with a 2.00pm kick off at SIL Premier Division Grundisburgh.

Woodbridge Team: Marcus Garnham, Aaran Sheppard, Jamie Scales, Mark Roper, Grant Monaghan, Ben Garnham, Luke Read, Tom Trevivian , Aaron Churchyard, Liam Hillyard, Paul Berry. Substitutes: Ben Miller, Jack Severy, Jon Bickers, Sean Rea.
