Wroxham lose to Waltham Abbey 3-1

The visitors were unable to extend their recent good run against a Waltham Abbey side also in the bottom three at the start of play. They needed to beat them in order to climb out of the bottom three.
Leading scorer Darrell Russell scored a double as Wroxham were condemned to a 10th defeat of the season at Capershotts. In all honesty it could have been worse in the first 20 minutes.
It took just five minutes for him to opening the scoring and, after he doubled the lead 12 minutes later, it looked like another tricky afternoon for the visitors.
But The Yachtsmen fought back eager to escape bottom spot with a third victory of the campaign. Payton Swatman pulled a goal back on the stroke of half-time.
Despite their second half endeavour it proved not enough for the Norfolk side, though it took until the 89th minute for the game to be sealed.
Billy Holland was the man who confirmed a third home win of the season for The Abbotts leaving Wroxham still stuck at the bottom of the table.
