Although the final score in this SSRC Cup game finished 4-2, this was another entertaining and tense game.

Woodbridge started the game well, taking the game to F&W on a hard and bumpy surface that looked like it had not seen water for 2 months !
The quick pressure paid off in as little as 3mins, when Churchill latched onto a through ball to take wide right and supply a fine cross for on running Baillie to slot home.

F&W to their credit, knuckled down and began to win possession in the midfield area and supply their quick wide players. Despite seemingly constant pressure from F&W they could not find the finishing touch, but with Woodbridge on the back foot, Woodbridge through Mayhew, collected in midfield to provide a through ball for Churchill who calmly finished past the on rushing F&W keeper for 2-0 on 20mins.

F&W continued to work and press hard, and were rewarded with goal on 30mins from a corner when the Woodbridge defence failed to pick up their markers.

With the 2-1 scoreline, F&W continued to press Woodbridge hard, and won possession in midfield to supply their striker to run free and slot the ball home for 2-2 on 40mins.

With a few Tactical changes at half time, Woodbridge started to win more possession in midfield and started to look threatening going forward again, but on 70mins, Nicklin was very unfortunate to receive a straight red and had to walk.
This gave F&W the momentum to push forward and on 75mins, Woodbridge lost possession at the back which resulted in some quick thinking by the F&W player to lob keeper Ellis fro 20yrds for a 3-2 lead.

Woodbridge changed their shape to try and still press for an equaliser despite being down to 10 men, but F&W had their tails up and plied constant pressure on the Woodbridge goal which resulted in some great goal keeping from Ellis to keep Woodbridge in the hunt.

On 80mins, Woodbridge pushing forward for the equaliser, were caught in possession and F&W broke forward quickly, and their forward slotted home for a final score of 4-2.
