Match Report by Tony Collins


Diss continued their excellent run of away form when they made it five wins from seven leagues games played when they won at Cornard last Saturday. In contrast they have won at Brewers Green Lane just once in six starts.

The Tangerines got off to a perfect start when they took the lead in the 3rd minute. Ben Nower threw the ball out to Danny Partridge on the wing. He ran towards the goal line and sent his cross to the far post for Alan North to play the ball back. He found Ben Deacon in space to shoot in from eight yards out for his 11th goal of the season. Diss made it 2-0 in the 10th minute when Ed Cussons sent the ball over for Steve Best to head in for his 3rd goal of the season.

 


North missed a chance to increase the lead but Luke Catchpole scored a superb goal just before half time. He won the ball and moved forward before sending a 30 yard shot past Darren Moyes.

(Luke Catchpole's long range shot puts Diss 3 up.)

Cornard had more of the play in the second half after they pulled a goal back in the opening minute of the half. Richie Meadows played the ball through for Jason carter to slip his shot past Nower. The Diss goalkeeper made good saves to keep out shots by Ryan Lions and Meadows. Danny McKail drew a fine save from Moyes but he was able to float the ball over him to make it 4-1 just before the end following a fine pass from Catchpole.
