Match Report v Walsham

The Villagers took an early lead after six minutes when a TJ Le Page corner was headed home at the near post by NATHAN ROWE (pictured).

In response a Sam Peters corner was headed wide by Tom Debenham a visiting defender. 

The was little between the two teams, in most cases they both lacked the final ball. 

Twice Melford cleared off the goal line whilst at the other end Steve Adams put his header wide. 

Early in the second half chances came at both ends but the end product was still a common failing. 

The visitors levelled after 83 minutes when LEE HAMMOND fired through a ruck of players, with no further scoring until the final whistle.

No extra time was played so it was straight to penalties, where Walsham prevailed 6-5 in sudden death and go through to the next round where we wish them good luck. 

MELFORD: 1 Darren Moyes, 2 Dan Smith, 3 Josh Collins, 4 Elliot Walker, 5 Ross Waugh, 6 Anthony Waugh, 7 Nathan Rowe, 8 T.J LePage, 9 Steve Adams, 10 Scott Sloots, 11 Will Wingfield
