Whitton United 1 Woodbridge Town 3
Saturday 3rd October 2009
Two goals in as many minutes just before half time paved the way for Woodbridge to win this local derby.
Woodbridge had looked the more likely side to break the deadlock and took the lead after 41 minutes , the lively Chris Lay stooping to head home Robbie Smythe’s left wing free kick.

Then the Whitton defence went AWOL as Marcus Josiah turned away from two opponents and found himself one-on-one with Jack Foster who he rounded before slotting home.

Whitton with 41 year old former Newcastle and Spurs winger Ruel Fox adding some much needed guile in attack, rallied in the second period. It was substitute Fox who reduced the defecit after 70 minutes tapping home after Anton Clarke’s free kick caused confusion in the visitors defence.

Matt Cunningham’s downward header bounced up onto the bar to deny Whitton a 76th minute equaliser and two minutes later Woodbridge substitute Josh Mayhew playing his first senior game for 10 months after a serious knee injury, headed home Lay’s left wing cross to end the home team’s resistance.

Woodbridge Team : Adam Wilson, Chris Pratt, Ben Miller, Tom Trevivian, Craig Stuart, Liam Scopes, Sean Rea (Josh Mayhew 45), Aaron Churchyard, Chris Lay, Marcus Josiah, Robbie Smythe.

Referee Mr Gary Sprague (Cambridge)

Attendance 99
