Wisbech Town 2 Woodbridge Town 1
Saturday 03 May 2008
A cameo appearance for the final five minutes by 50 year old Wisbech Town legend Jackie Gallagher provided a last minute win for the Fenmen ending the Woodpeckers three match unbeaten run.

The ex Wolves, Torquay United and Peterborough United striker provided the assist in stoppage time for Wisbech captain Lee Day to score his second of the afternoon to the delight of the 445 spectators that had gathered at Fenland Park to celebrate Veterans Day.

Lee Day had earlier given Wisbech a twelfth minute lead after Billy Smith sent a perfect cross to the far post which was headed in from two yards. The lead was short lived as five minutes later Ben Garnham tried his luck from outside the penalty area with a low drive which was intercepted 10 yards from goal by team mate Paul Hart who on the turn shot past keeper Chris Horton. 

Jack Severy had three opportunities put the Woodpeckers in front during the last ten minutes of the first half, his first effort was fired straight at Horton whilst another two shots flew over the bar. Ben Seaman sent the best effort of the second half towards the Wisbech net but his strike was well tipped over by Horton.

Woodbridge played their trademark passing game throughout the 90 minutes earning praise after the match for their attractive style of football from Gallagher who coaches the Under 18's at Wisbech, but despite deserving a point, Day's last minute winner ensured Woodbridge remained in seventeenth place in the final league table
