Wroxham Reserves picked up a point away to Waveney in a hard fought game.

Ideal weather conditions for a game of football unlike the pitch which was not suited to a team like Wroxham that likes to pass the ball from the back to the front.
Waveney had the better of the early exchanges hitting the post early in the game. Wroxham were always looking to break quickly though with James Baughurst working well and linking the play with Shaun Taylor.
Baughurst fired a free kick in from the right hand side which was beaten away and Wroxham were nearly caught out by a Waveney counter attack. Another Waveney break resulted in a superb save from the 'keeper Harley Lemmon in the 10th min. The Waveney throw ins were as good as a corner and as the ball was thrown in from the left Lemmon went down heavily and was down for a number of minutes receiving treatment.
Wroxham were starting to look dangerous now with a good break forward in the 25th min by Baughurst and Danny Rogers breaking down on the edge of the box. It was all Wroxham now with our midfield controlling the game. Two Wroxham free kicks in quick succession were knocked away followed by Cruise Nyadzayo firing over the bar from the edge of the 18yd box.
A scrappy period ensued in which Waveney had 2 one on ones with the keeper which were saved but the Waveney forward was offside both times but not seen by the linesman who was not up with play and was having a poor afternoon that was to get worse.
In the 35th min Sam Gauntlett lined up a free kick just outside the 18yd box and fired superbly into the top right hand side of the goal, to put Wroxham ahead.
Up to half time Waveney dominated the play as Wroxham dropped deeper, again the linesman was not up with play resulting in another one on one which Lemmon again saved well.
Second half started well with Wroxham pressing well through Taylor and Archie Galley down the right hand side. Baughurst was having a good game and controlling the midfield with Taylor.
In the 52nd min Vinny Datocampol headed over from an in-swinging Gauntlett free kick and then Rogers firing a shot at the keeper after making the chance for himself.
Waveney equalised in the 55th min from a quickly taken free kick that was then chipped over Lemmon by Bradley Hough. The referee had stated though that he was going to blow the whistle prior to the kick being taken which he didn't causing confusion and the goal stood. In the 60th min, Jordan Attree replaced Cruise Nyadzayo. The game was end to end now. The Waveney number 4 brought down J Attree and then stood on him in front of the linesman who stated that he saw nothing. J Attree was then booked for dissent.
Second Wroxham sub in the 70th min was Aaron Attree on for Rogers. Waveney were playing on the counter now with Ollie Ebbage putting a last ditch tackle in on the Waveney forward preventing another one on one.
Lewis Meecham came on for Galley in the 76th min. The standard of the refereeing deteriorated as the game went on as did the linesman's on the dugout side with both of them again missing the Waveney number 4 trampling all over J Attree and looking to target him.
Good work from A Attree leads to a free kick that was deflected and saved and another A Attree free kick was knocked away for a corner.
Mainly Wroxham until the end of the game with the odd counter by Waveney. Matt Doyle almost stole the points for Wroxham when his shot came off the underside of the bar and appeared to cross the line but the officials decided otherwise.
Another game where a young Wroxham team refused to be intimidated by an older more experienced Waveney side. At the final whistle there was a fracas which had to be calmed down by the Wroxham and Waveney managers.
