Woodbridge Town 1 Dereham Town 2
Saturday 5th December 2009
The Magpies took all 3 points from the Woodpeckers nest stealing two early second half goals.
Woodbridge twice hit the woodwork in a goalless opening half, Robbie Smythe forced visiting keeper John Higgs to tip his 30 yard effort onto the bar whilst in stoppage time Glenn Snell looked sure to score but his effort rebounded off the post and Ben Goddard's follow up was cleared off the line. For the Magpies Nick Howell had earlier brought Lewis Rhodes into action, the Woodbridge keeper saving well at his feet and Dan Beaumont's 40th minute free kick also skimmed the Woodbridge crossbar.

Despite a bright start to the second half, Woodbridge were two behind within twelve minutes. Joel Brien was left with enough space in the six yard box to sidestep his marker and beat Rhodes at his near post and speedy full back Oliver Willis powered through the Town defence to set up top scorer Dan Beaumont for his fourteenth goal of the season. Woodbridge introduced Marcus Josiah and Josh Mayhew into attack from the bench and looked more threatening but after Josiah earned a 66th minute penalty, Ben Seaman blazed the spot kick over the bar. With four minutes remaining Woodbridge pulled one back, Seaman shook off the challenges of 3 Dereham defenders to deliver a cross for Mayhew to convert first time, but Woodbridge will look back on the spot kick miss as a point which should have turned the game in their favour.
