Match Report v Wroxham

The opening ten minutes looked hopeful for Melford, Hassan Ally creating the space for Luke Payne who twice fired over the crossbar. 

After twenty minutes Adam Smith was close for Wroxham when a free kick from just outside the box curled just wide of the Melford goal post. 

Five minutes later and Wroxham were in the lead. Melford gave the ball away in midfield, Smith ran at the Melford goal, Darren Moyes made a fine point blank save but from the rebound eventually the loose ball was bundled into the net by ROSS GILFEDDER. A scrappy goal but they all count. 

On the half time whistle Ross Waugh headed wide for Melford, and thus they went into the interval a goal down. 

After 65 minutes Wroxham could have doubled their tally but ex AFC Sudbury player Payton Swatman screwed his shot wide of the Melford goal from three yards. 

In the last ten minutes Melford had three good chances to equalise - Hassan Ally headed wide at the far post, Josh Hodgson got through on goal but saw his shot saved, and Scott Sloots fired over the bar with another shot.
