Woodbridge has the wind, rain & snow at their back throughout the 1st half, but looked like they would struggle to make the most of the advantage in the early stages as they made little impact on the Wanderers defence.
Only Matt Oxbrow had really threatened to score, forcing a goal-line block from his close range effort before he was fouled on the edge of the penalty area & BEN GARNHAM saw the keeper out of position & curled the free-kick into the bottom corner. Danny Tatum then had two great chances to increase the lead but hit his shot straight at the keeper following Craig Jennings’ through ball & then repeated the feat when Jack Severy found him with a delightful cross. Severy became the next to miss as he volleyed over the bar from close range.

Little had been seen from the visitors in the 1st half in the face of the weather & some decent attacking football, but with the conditions more in their favour they came mightily close to scoring on three separate occasions only to be denied by last-ditch tackles or blocks from Ted Nichols, Carl Widdowson & Arran Sheppard. A header & a far post volley both went inches over the Woodbridge bar, while Tom Ross & his defence dealt admirably with high balls swirling around in the penalty area.
It was far from one-way traffic though as Garnham nearly added to his goal with a 25 yarder which flew inches wide, Josh Mayhew hit the keeper when well-placed & Oxbrow fired over at full-stretch from yet another Severy cross.

Team: Ross, Nichols, Kempson, Oxbrow, Widdowson, Sheppard, Mayhew (Salisbury), Garnham, Jennings (Hutton, Tatum (Wright) & Severy.

The win leaves Woodbridge top of the division again 3 points clear of Walsham Le Willows, but with only 3 games left to play as opposed to Walsham’s 5. There is a double-header for the reserves next week as they host Debenham on Saturday 29th March & Needham Market on Tuesday 1st April.
