Town go down to the odd goal in three at Walsham

Woodbridge made the worst possible start to their visit to Walsham as James Tathum stole the ball from Town skipper Aaron Churchyard after four minutes for a clear run at goal to shoot past Adam Wilson.

The pitch, which looked in good condition at the kick off, soon cut up and severely hampered Woodbridge's already below standard passing as they repeatedly surrendered possession to the home side.

Glenn Snell had a half chance to level the score but directed his shot straight a Walsham keeper Duncan McAnally who subsequently had what must have been one of his quietest afternoons of the season.

After the interval Simon Head rattled the Woodbridge upright and fired the rebound into the side netting. On the hour Woodbridge were two behind after losing possession on the halfway line and Head raced through Town's appeal for offside drawing Wilson out to the right of his area before placing a well directed chip into the town goal.

Wilson twice saved Woodbridge from going further behind with two smart stops and Ben Seaman forced McAnnally to do the same on 65 minutes. From the clearance Town earned a free kick near the left touchline and from Seaman's out-swinging delivery to the opposite side of the penalty area, Marcus Josiah put the ball back into the six yard box for Churchyard to score.

With twenty five minutes still remaining, this should have signalled the beginning of a Woodbridge revival but town failed to step-up their work-rate or their desire to deny Walsham any of their three points.

Woodbridge: Adam Wilson, Robbie Smythe (Seb Brimstead 55), David Kempson, Gavin Frost, Ben Miller, Aaron Churchyard, Marcus Josiah, Dan Morphew (Josh Mayhew 55), Glenn Snell (Ben Goddard 80, Tom Trevivian, Ben Seaman.
