TOWN MADE THE SHORT TRIP TO LEAGUE CHAMPIONS BRAINTREE IN THIS LOCAL DERBY MATCH ,THE SCORELINE WOULD MAKE YOU BELIVE IT WAS A ONE SIDED AFAIR BUT IN THRUTH IT WAS THE DEADLY FINISHING OF THE BRAINTREE STIKERS THAT MADE ALL THE DIFFERANCE.WITH ONLY 3 MINUTES GONE BRAINTREE RATTLED THE WITHAM CROSSBAR AND TWO MINUTES LATER TOOK THE LEAD AFTER SLACK MARKING THE BALL WAS DRILLED TO TOWNS WRIGHT WHERE AN UNMARK PLAYER SCORED.IN THE 25 TH MINUTE BRAINTREE FOUND THEMSELVES 2.0 UP AND ONLY THREE MINUTES LATER SCORED A THIRD WHEN TOWN WERE SLOW TO CLEAR THE BALL. PAUL TIFFIN WHO HAD GONE CLOSE A COUPLE OF TIMES EARLY IN THE MATCH DID SCORE FOR WITHAM IN THE 37TH MINUTE DOWN WENT CLOSE AGAIN YEO UNLUCKY THIS TIME.
WITHIN A MINUTE OF THE SECOND HALF STARTING MITCH YEO SHOTS WAS SPOONED BY THE HOME KEEPER AND YOUNG RYAN SCOFIELD WAS ON HAND TO TAP THE BALL HOME TO MAKE IT 3.2,IN AN EVEN TEN MINUTES IT WAS BRAINTREE THAT TOOK CONTROL WHEN THEY SCORED AGAIN IN THE 56TH MINUTE.TOWN DID HAVE A FEW CHANCES BUT IT WAS THE DEADLY STRIKERS OF BRAINTREE THAT CAUSED HAVOCK ALL NIGHT AND ADDED ANOTHER 2 GOALS IN THE 76 AND 79 MINUTE
