Lowestoft Tn 1, Norwich Utd 0
A weakened Lowestoft Town side beat Norwich United courtesy of a penalty converted just a minute before the break.
Craig Roberts, who was dismissed for the foul, pulled back Ross King as he prepared to shoot and Gary Williams duly slotted home from the spot.
There were few chances for either side in a game as dour as the New Year's Day weather.
Matt Hill did well to tip over a late Jamie Godbold shot and Daniel Scriven had a goal chalked off for offside, while the Planters will rue not creating more chances from their first half possessional advantage.
Francis Kumbur missed a good chance to equalise 12 minutes before time when he shot over.
