Both sides had a fairly youthful look about them but Wroxham had to make a number of changes from the side that won against Harleston last week with 9 players unavailable for various reasons. Five new players mostly from the WFC Open Academy were signed on before the game.
Not surprisingly it took awhile for the side to gel but they almost took the lead on 15 minutes when Matt Doyle spun sharply in the area to get in a firm shot that was well tipped over by Hails. A minutes later another shot by Bradley Spooner was turned round by the Dersingham keeper.

A slip by Sam Webb allowed Moriera to break away who squared for Alex Cullen to shoot but Kingsley Barnes brought off a brilliant save to deny the Dersingham player.

Although play was fairly even, the visitors took the lead on 30 minutes. Moriera who looked offside when he received the ball again ran forward to set up Cullen to tap into an empty net.

This was somewhat harsh on the Wroxham players who had performed quite well given that most had not played together before.

HT Wroxham Res 0 Dersingham 1

Wroxham had a good chance to equalise soon after the break when Shaun Taylor got clear but his scuffed shot was straight at Hails and the chance had gone.
Tommy Knight won the ball in mid-field to get forward and set up Doyle who needed too much time and was closed down.

Dersingham had a couple of chances to increase the lead first when No 2 shot over when well placed and then again when Barnes brought off another fine save to tip over Moriera's shot.

Wroxham were still trying to get back in the game and had a chance when a lovely pass by Spooner enabled Marcus Wilkinson to run forward down the right. He turned inside to open up on his left foot with a strong shot which was too close to Hails who saved comfortably.
Great pace by Ben Riley from Alex Philpott's slide rule pass saw the Wroxham player get to the byline and deliver a near perfect cross which unfortunately fell behind his colleague at the far post.

A fine run by Matty Doyle also led to a cross from the byline which Hails dropped on to avoid any further danger.
Wroxham were now playing some decent football and applying quite a lot of pressure as they searched for an equaliser.

But Dersingham made the game safe five minutes from time with an excellent goal from Cullen. His unstoppable shot from 35 yards hit the net giving Barnes no chance and the visitors took the three points.

The two sides meet again next Saturday in the Mummery Cup when Wroxham hope to have most of their missing players available.
