It was tough on Woodbridge who matched their
opponents as the two sides served up an
entertaining match in near-monsoon conditions.
Leiston went ahead after just
seven minutes when Leon Ottley-Gooch rose
highest to head home after keeper Adam Wilson
had failed to punch clear Stuart Boardley’s
free-kick.
Woodbridge were level just six
minutes later when Jay Churchyard, who produced
an impressive performance on his debut, played
in Chris Lay and he rounded Jamie Stannard
before scoring.
Woodbridge thereafter looked the more likely
side to score, with Stannard making a couple of
good saves, and Leiston made a double
substitution at half time.
After an even second half it
was the visitors who finished strongly, despite
being down to ten men following a leg injury to
Danny Cunningham.
Substitute Lee McGlone headed
Leiston in front from Boardley’s deep free-kick
before Michael Brothers’ netted a fine
individual goal, cutting in from the right and
scoring with a low shot inside the near post in
the 90th minute to seal all three points.
