South Woodham Ferrers 14 – 10 Southwold – Writing a match report in a fair and unbiased way is difficult enough but when you watch a game like this one it is almost impossible, and what excitement was created was swiftly taken away by a referee who awarded countless penalties for both teams with questionable and sometimes harsh decisions killing the game on its feet.

Woodford snatched victory at the death just as Wold had done at Norwich the previous week, in what had been a great game from start to finish, and a game which had thrilled the crowd right up to the final whistle.
