as town go down 2.1 at redbridge

not quite the result witham would have liked to start the new season, but they took until the last quarter to play well, after a questionable start.there were twelve new players in the squad and they all took time to start to play, from the start the home side put the witham defence under pressure and took the lead from the penalty spot after just seven minutes when MICHAEL OGBOIN beat jason baker with a penalty kick after a good build up,OGBON scored a quick second goal.witham did have chances , but john watson missed a good chance but the ball fell awkward for him in front of goal, and eamon payne hit the under side of the crossbar following a corner.
ht2.0
witham did improve after the break but failed to finish off good build ups but in the 70th minute baker kept witham in the game after he saved a penalty from ogboin after he had pulled down the same player, for which he received a yellow card. in the closing stages witham attacked the home goal and were rewarded when JOHN WATSON broke through and shot just inside the post.witham squandered chances in the closing stages of the game to grab a point.
witham have a chance to get there season started quickly as they face great wakering at home on tuesday 7.45pm ko
