Diss Town 0 Lowestoft Town 5

Diss completed their pre-season friendly matches with a 5-0 defeat against Ryman League newcomers Lowestoft Town.

Lowestoft gained promotion last season and looked a very good side as they scored four second half goals after a fairly even first half.

The first chance of the match fell to Diss in the 5th minute. A corner from Chris Collins-Reed was headed over by Ben Soanes. Richard Woodrow headed Lowestoft into a 20th minute lead to a cross from Jamie Godbold.

Carl Poppy shot in to make it 2-0 in the 48th minute and Martyn Magee made it three just six minutes later. A 3-0 score would have been a fair reflection of the evening but two late goals inside a minute completed the scoring. Jamie Godbold used his pace to set up Craig Bussens for the fourth goal before Poppy completed the scoring.

Diss team: Matty Hill, Chris Collins-Reed, Stuart Garner, Paul Nicholls, Brendan Foley, Mark Shadrack, Peter Hooks, Ben Soanes, George Watts-Sturrock, Sam Bryant, Jason Hunt.

Diss subs: Stuart Jenkinson, Christian Money, Ben Norton and Jake Burton.

Attendance: 120.

The preparation is now complete and the new league season starts this Saturday. Diss visit March Town United (kick off 3pm). Many new faces will be on display and the team looks forward to a vocal backing at Brewers Green Lane on Tuesday against Great Yarmouth Town (kick off 7.45pm).
