The reserves followed up on their good pre-season work outs and got their season off to a flyer with a well deserved 5-1 away win.
A goal from Ollie O'Hare gave a 1-0 half time lead and Wivenhoe pushed on in the second half with additional goals from Tom Moore, Marcus Spindler, Sam Sadler and a second for Marcus Spindler gave them a 5-0 lead before Stowmarket got a consolation in the last few minutes.
All in all a fine start.
