Match report	Wigginton started this game very strongly and pushed Fulford back within their own half for large periods of the first half. Wigginton went ahead after 6 minutes went a great right wing corner was met with a superb header. Fulford were restricted to counter attacks, but the Wigginton goalkeeper made some great blocks and saves to deny Sam, Nicholas and Jonathan. Wigginton's pressure finally told and they added a second goal just before half time. However, in the second half, Fulford were like a different team as they launched wave after wave of attacks. The first goal came when Nicholas found Paul on the left and he ran through and slotted the ball into the far corner. A second goal soon followed as Paul set off on another surging run down the left and cut the ball back to Sam who arrived into the box at pace to smash the ball into the roof of the net. Fulford were now rampant and the third goal came when Jack sent a through ball for Sam to run on to. He just about beat the on-rushing goalkeeper to the ball and poked it past him into the empty net. The fourth goal came when Paul shot when the ball fell loose on the edge of the box. Fulford then sealed a fantastic comeback when Paul shot hard and low through a crowd of players to secure a 5-2 win.
