Open Cup Qtr Final
Great Yarmouth 0-0 Woodbridge
Woodbridge won 3-1 on penalties
Woodbridge travelled to Yarmouth for the quarter
final of the Suffolk Open Cup and ended Yarmouth's
cup run again for the second year running at this
stage. The opening half did see Woodbridge have the
greater of chances at goal on strikes early in the
match, Jamie Smith hit top corner of the post. Ben
Hunter fired a late chance just over the bar late in
the half.
Second half and Woodbridge got off to a slow start
and let Yarmouth look dangerous at times, but after
ten minutes Woodbridge got back on track and started
playing well again. A busy half for both sides but
Woodbridge's back four and keeper Stephen Seabrook
worked well together when Yarmouth pushed forward.
When Woodbridge broke forward Thomas Spurling and
Issac Warren on the wing both caused problem for
Yarmouth with their speed. Smith had a good effort
saved a volley five minutes from time. With the game
now in extra time Woodbridge really pushed to break
the dead lock and attacked well in the first half of
extra time and came close to scoring when a Lewis
Cowie effort hit the cross bar. The last ten minutes
and the match could still have gone either way but
Woodbridge played out these last minutes well.
Callum Scott and Tyler Howell both played well in
midfield throughout the match with support from Liam
Brunning. As did Teddy Cooper, George Exworth, Mason
Ransome, Harrison Rodgers and Lewis Jimpson all
playing in defence. In the end after penaltys the
result was the right one with Woodbridge winning 3-1
on penalties. Woodbridge scorers were Lewis Cowie,
Mason Ransome and Jamie Smith.

the C.F.C keeper but this allowed Jamie Smith to
finish the ball.
Woodbridge started off better in the second half
putting more pressure on the C.F.C defence looking
for another goal. The second half was much the same
as the first with play pretty much even, but after
about ten minutes and from a Woodbridge corner
Harrison Rogers headed home Woodbridge's second and

as Lewis Jimpson and George Exworth both working
well together. Smith came close to adding another
with two efforts going wide in quick succession, but
straight away with a good kick and the long ball
booted up the pitch C.F.C equalised with another
good finish. twenty minutes into the second half but
with fifteen minutes to go the match could go any
way but it was Woodbridge persistence and fitness
that won them the match when C.F.C failed to clear a
late Woodbridge corner allowing Lewis Cowie to score
with a great strike from the edge of the box sending
Woodbridge into the next round.
