As Town made an unwise appeal for offside, Lee
Smith scored a late winner for the Stutes only
moments after Glenn Snell almost earned
Woodbridge the win with a rasping drive that
Histon keeper Sean Greygoose turned over his
crossbar.
The best move of the match ended with Ben Seaman
hitting the Histon upright after good
combination between Sean Rea, Grant Monaghan and
Ben Goddard but Histon's tall centre forward
Craig Hammond gained the visitors a 1-0 half
time advantage sending a 35th minute header
beyond the reach of Town keeper Adam Wilson.
Seaman was prominent in every Woodbridge attack,
his acute shot flashed across the face of the
Histon goal and Greygoose had to stretch to tip
over his goalbound strike but after 71 minutes
his efforts were rewarded, pouncing on a moment
of hesitancy in the Histon defence to level the
score.
Although the Woodpeckers late defensive lapse
presented the visitors their win, throughout the
90 minutes, Town's midfield too often gave the
ball away cheaply and until the introduction of
Snell had livened up proceedings, Seaman's
striking partners had an ineffective and
consequently costly afternoon.
