I moved house on the Saturday and forgot how much work was involved in the 9 years since my last house move. From the 2 weeks leading up to the move, the thankfully short 1 mile journey from A-B but a DIY effort with my nephews Van and brawn provided by another nephew, my brother-in-law and my eldest nearly 17 year old daughter who wants to be the next Barry Bucknell. By Bank Holiday Monday, respite was found in a day out to Norwich to ease the aching limbs and relax by watching my only match over the Easter holiday period.
Trafford Park still has that village rec feel to it even though it has needed recent improvements to play in Step 4. The focus is the clubhouse, where all food and drink is available inside. There is not much available at the food stall but the large saucepans of what looked and tasted like homemade minestrone or chicken soup, together with sliced bread from an uncut loaf to dip in is a joy at £1.20 for a bowl or mug. There is a good size main seated stand opposite and a new standing covered accommodation behind one goal. A standard MK Publications programme was available with an unusual pick me up advert inside the back cover.
The early play was dominated by Soham and it came as no surprise when they took the lead after 8 minutes. A long through pass beat the slow moving centre halves and no9 Rob Mason picked it up and drove past the home keeper as he advanced from his area. Soham kept the advantage through possession and doubled their lead on the half hour. Another through ball over the defence was controlled by Mason and he lobbed the keeper to make it 0-2. Mason failed to get his hat trick before half time, a late shot well saved at the end of the half.
A reshuffle at the back by the home side and new impetus gave Wroxham their best stage of the game although the best chance came with a deflection over the bar. Further changes ensued and in the last quarter, Soham sealed the victory from a corner.when the cross was headed back to Andrews to shoot into the top corner.
