Frenford edge out Dragons

The opening game of the season saw four debuts for Wivenhoe Town, Laurence Whymark, Jack Mead, Gareth Hutchings and Tom Lakin all starting their first games. Peter Maina also featured in his first game back at the club, new signings Eusfrause Cabulo and Brandon Bennett were on the bench.

The home side took the lead early in the game from the penalty spot after Mike Fitzgibbon was judged to have pulled an attacker down. The Dragons had the better of the first half but were unable to find the back of the net.

The second period began with Frenford down to ten men due to the new sin bin rule. Wivenhoe were unable to take advantage and it was the home side then doubled their lead. Tom Lakin got one back when he was fouled in the area, picked himself up and slotted the penalty away. Tom Lakin and Dean Merrett then had good chances to equalise before Frenford added a third.

Subsitute Lewis Stantiall then scored to make it 3 - 2. Frenford were reduced to ten men and Wivenhoe pushed for an equaliser with both Lakin and Merrett unable to take good opportunities.
