Woodbridge Town 3 Wroxham 4
Saturday 31st October 2009
An entertaining match saw Woodbridge defeated again but only by an odd goal in seven.

Wroxham were denied a fourth minute opener after Town keeper Adam Wilson was adjudged to have been impeded whilst punching a corner into his own net then Craig Stuart gave the Woodpeckers a tenth minute lead, powerfully heading in from a Ben Seaman corner. Woodbridge should have added to their score in the first half, Dan Morphew's shot stung the hands of visiting keeper Scott Howie, Ben Seaman twice shot directly into Howie's arms, whilst Marcus Josiah also missed chances, his shot saved by Howie at the base of the post before heading wide of the other upright from a Seaman cross. In between, the Yachtsmen had levelled the score on the half hour, pacy winger Steve Spriggs appeared offside but received the benefit of doubt from the assistant referee to easily steer the ball past Wilson.

Woodbridge failed to keep up the tempo in the opening ten minutes of the second half and were punished by two quick goals, Spriggs's shot from a narrow angle deflected off Stuart into goal and Ollie King increased the visitors lead to 3-1 after Town failed to clear a corner kick. Instead of capitulating as in previous matches, Town to their credit were level again within ten minutes, Seaman delivering a stunning free kick just under the angle of crossbar and post and Morphew putting a deft finish to Josiah's goalbound shot. Town surprisingly then replaced Morphew and Josiah and their ascendancy waned, Wroxham substitute Colin Wines recording the final and decisive goal of the afternoon with a 75th minute header.

Adam Wilson, Seb Brimstead, Grant Monaghan, Chris Pratt, Craig Stuart, Ben Miller, Tom Trevivian, Dan Morphew (Ben Goddard 69), Marcus Josiah (Jay Churchyard 78), Ben Seaman, Aaron Churchyard.
