Away v AFC Sudbury, Won 2-1 (Sun 02 Dec 07)
Long Melford took the points in a close local derby played in difficult conditions. With most of the play in the first half Long Melford were denied by good defending and some fine saves from the AFC goalkeeper. Liam Poore went close on two occassions and George Payne thumped a long range shot straight at the keeper.
Most of the play was disjointed on a slippery surface.It was a different story in the second half with Sudbury putting Melford under pressure but Richie Moroney and Christian Hurrell always looked comfortable and Matt Bowers in goal showed good handling in muddy conditions. Melford took the lead when Liam Poore carried the ball across the penalty area and set up Ben Ramsey to score with a clever chip from the right hand side.AFC replied soon after when Matt Bowers made a good save from close range but the rebound was tucked away neatly by Sudbury's centre forward from the edge of the penalty area. The game was heading for a draw and frustrations were beginning to show. Melford were very fortunate that the game was handled with maturity from a young referee. The winner came with five minutes remaining. Chris Barber and Liam Poore again working hard to set up Jack Goodwin with a cool side foot finish. Long Melford Under 14's are managed by Richard Payne.
