A familiar tale of spurned chances and gifting their opponents the opening goal saw Woodbridge return home from Mildenhall without reward.

The Woodpeckers were unfortunate in losing Ben Seaman after three minutes with a hamstring injury disrupting their 4-4-2 game plan. Lone striker Josh Mayhew had two early chances, one flashing across the face of goal, and Glenn Snell missed a great opportunity late in the first half, shooting straight at the keeper from the edge of the 18 yard box when faced with only him to beat. Mildenhall also missed an early chance to take the lead, when faced with only Adam Wilson to beat, an ill-judged forward pass to a colleague saw the finishing touch ruled out for offside.

Overall, Woodbridge had the better of the goalless first half but two half time substitutions and a reshuffle put Mildenhall firmly in charge for the second period. Aaron Churchyard was robbed of the ball on halfway sending Luke Thurleborne clear through to score the first. Aaron Turner scored a second for the home side, before Woodbridge conceded from a corner for the umpteenth match running to give the Hall a deserved 3-0 win.

Woodbridge: Adam Wilson, Robbie Smythe, David Kempson, Glenn Snell, Ben Miller (Grant Monaghan 65), Aaron Churchyard, Marcus Josiah, Liam Scopes, Josh Mayhew, Ben Seaman (Dan Morphew 3), Seb Brimstead
