Despite dominating the possession & territory throughout the 1st half, the home team incredibly went in a goal behind, courtesy of a goal on 30 minutes following a free-kick, which saw Woodbridge defenders hesitate in comparison to the Stowmarket player, who impressively smashed the ball past Tom Ross.
Despite the neat & tidy passing from Woodbridge the visiting keeper only had one save to make as he blocked Jennings low shot & a defender cleared the ball off the line. A few other chances fell Woodbridge’s way, but Carl Widdowson & Grant Monaghan were denied by great blocks, while Jack Severy blazed over from close range.

The 2nd half followed much the same path although the home team did have a let-off when a mix-up between Arran Sheppard & Tom Ross saw the ball fall to a Stowmarket player some 40+ yards from an open goal, but the resulting shot rolled just outside the post.
However, the pressure built on Stowmarket’s defence & finally on 68 minutes, Woodbridge levelled the score. Ismael Toumi, who had only just been moved to right back tricked his way into the area, ‘nutmegged’ his man & squared for CRAIG JENNINGS to find the back of the net. The same two players combined 5 minutes later as Toumi created space to clip in an inviting cross & the head of CRAIG JENNINGS did the rest.
The Stowmarket keeper pulled off a fantastic save to deny Josh Mayhew a goal, but the victory was ensured with 6 minutes remaining when Monaghan & David Kempson combined down the left wing & the latter unselfishly squared to the far post where CRAIG JENNINGS gleefully tapped the ball in for his hat-trick.

Team: Ross, Sheppard, Widdowson (Kempson 61), Baalham, Monaghan, Rea (Tatum 45), Toumi, Garnham, Hillyard, Severy (Mayhew 45) & Jennings.
