WHAT A GREAT RESULT FOR WITHAM AGAINST A MIXED FOOTBALL LEAGUE SIDE WITH ALL THE WITHAM SQUAD AT THEIR BEST.AS EARLY AS THE FOURTH MINUTE WITHAM TOOK THE LEAD WITH A SUPER STRIKE FROM JASON FONTAINE WITH A SHOT FROM THE EDGE OF THE AREA INTO THE ROOF OF THE NET,AND AFTER EIGHT MINUTES FONTAINE CROSSED THE BALL FOR BILLY HUNT TO HEAD IN FOR A SECOND.

THE U’S FOUGHT BACK AND DANNY SAMBRIDGE THE WITHAM KEEPER MADE A COUPLE OF GOOD SAVES ONE OF WITCH SAW HIM FLYING HIGH ACROSS GOAL TO FINGER TIP ONTO THE BAR AND OFF FOR A CORNER.WITHAM SCORED A THIRD AFTER A GOOD RUN DOWN THE RIGHT FROM SCOTT PETHERS HIS CROSS WAS MET BY FONTAINE STANDING AT THE BACK TO SCORE HIS SECOND GOAL.THE VISTORS GOT MORE INTO THE GAME,BUT WERE NOT GETTING THEIR SHOTS IN JUST A SERIES OF SHORT PASSES GOING NO WHERE AND WERE WELL HELD BY THE HOME DEFENCE.

SOON AFTER THE BREAK WITHAM WENT STILL FURTHER AHEAD WHEN HUNT SCORED FROM CLOSE RANGE AND THERE FOR MOST OF THE SECOND HALF IT WAS A MIDFIELD BATTLE .

COLCHESTER SAW MORE AND MORE OF THE BALL AS THE SECOND HALF WENT ON AND NEAR THE END OF THE GAME WERE REWARDED WHEN JOHN RAMM SCORED FOR THE U’S AFTER HESITATION IN THE HOME DEFENCE AND ROB WHITNELL CLEARNED OFF THE LINE FOR WITHAM
