On the penultimate league match of the season, Woodbridge entertained last years league & Cup winners Witnesham Wasps at Kingston Park.

Having already beaten the Wasps early on in the season and with a 100% record to date in the league, the boys knew that a draw at the least would secure the Division 1 Championship. What the boys, coaches, or supporters didn't expect though, was the horrendous weather conditions that everyone woke up to on Saturday morning. With gale force winds and regular snow and hale storms this was one morning you wished you had stayed in bed!

The game got under way with both sides competing for the ball at every occasion but with the defences remaining solid. Half way through the first half Woodbridge were awarded a free kick 10 yards outside the Wasps box; George Bowman stepped forward and hit the ball well into a driving wind, the ball finishing up in the top corner of the net with the goalkeeper managing to get a hand to it, but not enough to keep it out. Wasps, with the wind behind them applied pressure to the Woodbridge goal for the next 5 minutes with a series of corners and free kicks. It was one of those free kicks taken by Kieran Turner that almost levelled the score, with the ball heading for the top right hand corner some how Nathan Thurlow dived full stretch and with one hand diverted the ball out for a corner kick.

The second half was again very tight with end to end football, but Woodbridge managed to add a second goal from some exceptional skill by Joshua Hitter who dribbled past three Wasps defenders to calmly slot the ball past the out coming keeper. The game concluded 2-0 to Woodbridge and the boys celebrated after a hard game & season to win the league.

Well done to the boys, Nathan Thurlow, Olly Sharman, Callum Scott, Josh Moore, Josh Hitter, George Bowman, Dan Hanson & Taylor Southgate.
