Match Report by Tony Collins

Diss Town won in the league for the third game in a row and took their goals scored tally in that fine run to 12 goals when they won 5-2 at Humber Doucy Lane against an Ipswich Wanderers team that was relegated last season. Diss Manager Rob Taylor made five changes to the starting line up from the previous win, against Downham, with Leighton Miller, Kevin Leggett (for his first game of the season after injury), Steve Best, Luke Catchpole and Osiris Gomes coming in. George Wilson and Mark Shadrack dropped to the substitute bench with Robbie Lawrence, Brendan Foley and James Wilson all unavailable.

Luke Catchpole was fouled in the 11^th minute and Adie Hayes sent the free kick over for Leighton Miller to again show how dangerous he is at set pieces with a header at the near post into the corner of the net. The second goal followed in the 22^nd minute. Hayes found Danny McKail and his centre was headed back by Andy Moody for Ben Deacon to shoot in from close range.

Hayes sent a 53^rd minute corner for Miller to have another goal bound header. This time it was cleared off the line and Steve Best put the rebound in to make it 3-0. Darcy De’ath crossed in the 60^th minute for Jamie Buckle to shoot in and pull a goal back. Deacon shot narrowly wide when sent clear by Moody in the 75^th minute.  Diss moved 4-1 ahead in the 84^th minute from a throw taken by Ed Cussons to Deacon.

His pass enabled Danny McKail to score his first goal for Diss with a shot slid past goalkeeper Jack Foster. Hayes played a perfect through ball with a minute to go for Moody to float the ball over Foster from outside the penalty area to make it 5-1. Wanderers pulled a goal back in added time when Jerrell Layne shot in.
