Match Report by Tony Collins

Diss played the third Ridgeons Premier League opponents in a row as they continue the build up to the 2008/09 season. They were well beaten by the team that finished 2^nd last season and showed that their plans are to go one better this time.

Diss started well and had an effort from Robbie Lawrence caught on the line by the goalkeeper. A low shot was pushed out for Danny Thrower to shoot Needham ahead in the 10^th minute. Two minutes later a cross from the left was headed in by Tommy Smith. Lawrence was close again with another shot before Danny Smyth moved on to a superb 28^th minute through ball to make it 3-0.

Glen Snell headed in from three yards out to a 51^st minute diagonal ball in from the right. Five minutes later a shot from 14 yards out by Smith looped up over Mark Cammidge off Luke catchpole and went in to make it 5-0. Snell hit a superb shot from 20 yards out for his second goal of the game in the 66^th minute. James Evans struck another fine shot to complete the scoring in the 73^rd minute. Danny Partridge had a shot deflected over as Diss went in search of a consolation goal.
