Match Report by Tony Collins

Diss and Yarmouth met for the second time this season at Brewers Green Lane. Stewart Roach scored all four Yarmouth goals in the 4-3 league win. However, in this cup tie he was replaced at half time and the Diss defence were in control and the visiting forwards rarely troubled Mark Cammidge. Diss will now travel to Stowmarket in the 1^st Round in the week commencing Monday November 3^rd.

Danny Partridge and Andy Moody linked up on the left wing in the 6^th minute. Moody moved into the penalty area and was brought down by Chris Squire. Ben Deacon scored from the penalty, although ex-Tangerine goalkeeper Michael Hilton got his hands to the ball. Moody was just high with a header and Partridge rippled the top of the net after a fine pass from Deacon as Diss looked likely to add to the score. A minute before half time Partridge had a shot blocked, from the follow up Luke Catchpole’s deflected shot was pushed aside by Hilton and Danny McKail hit the post from an acute angle.

Danny Partridge cut in from the left and hit a low right foot shot from 22 yards just inside Hilton’s right hand post to make it 2-0 in the 62^nd minute. Hilton used his legs to block shots as Partridge and Deacon raced in on goal. However, Hilton was not to be beaten for the third time until a minute into added time. Brendan Foley played a through ball and Steve Best outpaced the defence before hitting a fierce shot from twelve yards out to make it 3-0.
