Lee Weemes got the home side’s first after six minutes, the ball deflecting off the striker from a Solomon Pope clearance, before Sam West doubled their advantage with a 42nd minute header.

Rimmel Daniels made it 3-0 with an excellent solo goal, before a Conor Mead own goal gave The Yachtsmen hope with half an hour left.

But it was the hosts who had the final say, Danny Francis with the fourth in injury time to continue Wroxham’s lengthy run without a league win.

The Yachtsmen never really got going, with the bobbly conditions leading to a scrappy affair and hindering their usual passing fluency.

Tilbury seized the initiative early on, taking the lead after six minutes as Wroxham were once again handed a large slice of bad luck.

Lee Weemes made a darting run across the edge of the box before losing control of the ball, only for Solomon Pope’s attempted clearance to rebound off the striker and into the bottom right corner.

The Dockers almost made it two with 12 minutes gone, captain Aaron Waters swinging in a dangerous corner that clipped off the bar on its way over.

The bobbly conditions underfoot were making for a scrappy affair, with The Yachtsmen’s attempts at playing from the back putting returning goalkeeper Scott Cruickshank under needless pressure on various occasions.

Wroxham’s best play was coming down the left, with young left back Danny Rust making some dangerous forward runs, with only the final product lacking.

With not much in the way of free flowing football, it was unsurprising that a set piece provided the game’s second goal as Tilbury doubled their lead after 42 minutes.

A Sam Cutler corner was whipped in from the left, with Sam West rising highest to head home at the near post.

Wroxham almost got back in it straight away, Joe Marsden making a darting run down the right before unleashing his shot, the ball spinning up in the air from the Chico Ramos’ save into the path of Paul Cook only for his header to be scrubbed off for an apparent push.
