The game was an opportunity for Under 18 Coach, Sean Thacker, to look at the new batch of 1st year youth team players, especially with a host of last season’s successful FA Youth Cup team unavailable. Of the 16 players used only goalkeeper, Adam Dawson, played more than 60 minutes during a game split into three thirty minute periods, due to the intense heat.

JORDAN SEAMAN raced away from the Westerfield defence in the 6th minute to slide Woodbridge in front, a lead that was maintained until Wanderers scored twice in 2 minutes just before the hour mark, courtesy of a long-range free-kick & a close-range header from a corner.
However, the Woodbridge Town style of play was in evidence throughout the game & as the game moved into the last 20 minutes, the Woodbridge youngsters were rewarded for their patient possession & bright, quick passing in the opposition’s half as firstly STUART BAILLIE levelled the scores & then JORDAN SEAMAN put them ahead with a strike from the edge of the area. The win was sealed in the final minute when Jack Garnham (the 2nd – we have two 1st year players called Jack Garnham!) had his goal-bound shot handled on the line & JORDAN SEAMAN stepped up to complete his hat-trick from the penalty spot.

Squad: Adam Dawson, James Fulker, Ryan Stafford, Charlie Sanford, Jack Garnham (the 1st), Daniel Hitchings, Jonjo Hood-Wright, James Wright, Mehmet Duzgun, Jack Garnham (the 2nd), Ross Hutchings, Danny Tatum, Stuart Baillie, Jordan Seaman, James Churchill & Jack Lawrence.
