Wroxham's poor run of form over the festive period continued as they succumbed to a 2-0 defeat at Brightlingsea.

The Yachtsmen conceded twice in a tight first half - the third game in a row they have gone in 2-0 down at the break - and they never really recovered in what will be a disappointing way to start the new year for Stewart Larter and his men.

Wroxham made three changes from Saturday's heartbreak against Soham Town Rangers, with David Hinton, Jack Garrod and Jordan King all earning starting berths.

The game started with much hustle and bustle and it was the hosts who struck first, Amir Berkane bursting into the area on 20 minutes before being taken down by Matt Halliday, with Ben Newson stepping up to send Elliot Pride the wrong way for 1-0.

Wroxham were trying to use the pace on their flanks at any opportunity, a ploy that almost came to fruition on the half hour as both wingers combined, Remy Gordon breaking down the left before finding Jack Garrod in the box, who skewed his effort horribly wide.

And they would pay for this miss as Brightlingsea went down the other end to double their advantage, confusion in the Wroxham defence allowing Jordan Heath to sneak in and finish clinically across Pride on 37 minutes.

Things were tight after the break, with Brightlingsea happy to sit on their lead and Wroxham unable to break them down.

Garrod flashed an effort across goal that was urging to be tucked in at the back post - only for no-one to make the run - whilst Christy Finch saw a 20 yard free kick fly just over the bar after Gordon was tripped just outside the area as they searched in vain.

But this would be all The Yachtsmen could muster as they fell to their third successive defeat in what is becoming a lean spell of results for Latter's side.
