| Woodbridge made
one change to the side that earned a last minute
FA Vase win at Deeping Rangers the previous Saturday.
Lee O'Neill replaced Paul Berry, missing through
illness and recent signing from Stowmarket Town
Peter Richardson had an introduction to the
Ridgeons Premier Division from the substitutes
bench. |
| Lee O'Neill who
scored that last minute winner at Deeping took
only two minutes to find the net again from
close range to give the Woodpeckers the lead and
when Ben Seaman crossed from the left for
O'Neill to head Woodbridge into a two goal lead
on ten minutes visiting supporters were reaching
for their mobile phones to text the unlikely
scoreline back home. |
| The Yachtsmen
reduced the deficit minutes later through Ben
Thompson but Alllicion Blake restored the
Woodpeckers two goal lead on 18 minutes and Ben
Seaman added the a fourth for Woodbridge just
before the half hour mark to stun the home
supporters. |
| The goals kept
coming but sadly for Woodbridge it was Wroxham
who redeemed themselves after Grant Monaghan conceded
a free kick which Justin Fox placed well out of
Marcus Garnham's reach and three minutes before
the break Josh Carus volleyed in the seventh
goal of an astonishing 45 minutes. |
| The anticipated
Wroxham second half onslaught began but their
job became more difficult when Allicion Blake
scored his second of the game after 49 minutes
to give Woodbridge a 3-5 lead. |
| On the hour
Woodbridge were unfortunate to be reduced to 10
men after Mark Roper was adjudged to have
brought down Ben Thompson and shortly after Lee
Gilman ensured a hectic finale to the game
reducing the Wroxham arrears to 4-5 |
| Woodbridge
suffered injuries to Blake, Hart and Seaman who
were all replaced and Wroxham's unrelenting
pressure paid off with ten minutes remaining
when Gary Gilmore scoring the tenth and final
goal to keep their unbeaten league start
intact. |
| Woodbridge who
after becoming the first opposing team to score
five in a competitive fixture at Wroxham since
March 1991 will no doubt make several changes in
Tuesday's Churchman Cup fixture with
Grundisburgh as injuries take their toll and
with five players representing the county squad
at Under 18's on Thursday, two days before
Needham Market visit Notcutts Park looking to
extend their 100% start to the season.
