Wroxham allowed Blofield back in the game when they should have been out of sight at half-time.
The young Yachtsmen were playing some nice football right from the start and took the lead on 10 minutes with an exquisite goal from Jordan Attree. The Wroxham striker spotted Blofield ‘keeper Ryan Hemmings off his line as he had attempted to clear the ball and simply lobbed it back into an empty net.
Then a shot from Jack Guyton was blocked on the line as Wroxham took charge. Another good move saw full back Tom Rampling get forward down the left and cross to set up Bradley Spooner whose shot whizzed past the post.
Jordan Attree was pulled down on the edge of the area and Spooner’s free-kick whizzed past the post as Wroxham continued playing some delightful football.
Blofield were restricted to breakaways but they almost scored when No 4 hit the bar only for Wroxham to counter with a second goal on 40 minutes. The ball was swiftly play forward and a rush of blood saw Hemmings chase out towards the edge of the penalty area only for Spooner to get round him and make a great run along the by line and fire into an unguarded goal.
The home side then made a cardinal mistake by allowing Blofield back in the game just before the break. Wroxham ‘keeper Kingsley Barnes brought off an excellent save but the ball ran loose for Ian Woolston to score with a tap in.

Wroxham again showed some nice play in the early stages of the second half and looked to be in a commanding position when Blofield were reduced to 10 men as Tom Ford was somewhat harshly sent off.
The home side added to the lead with another well worked move and an excellent finish by Shaun Taylor.
But the teams were evened Aaron Attree who had already been booked, stupidly was given a straight red for a stamp on Blofield player Matt Banham who had dived in.
This change the game as Blofield scored twice in the last 10 minutes. Firstly substitute James Smith ran through to smash the ball home following a free-kick and the same player equalised with a few minutes left.
Wroxham had a couple of chances to regain the lead through Spooner & Jack Lincoln but it was two points dropped from a game they should have won comfortably.
