On a bright sunny afternoon at the Leisure Centre the pitch was very hard however Framlingham dominated the first half winning headers, tackles and scoring three goals.
On eight minutes Max Willett had the first shot on target and man of the match Danny Smith miscued from a corner.
It was on 15 minutes the visitors took the lead when a sideways pass from Smith set up Chris Boardley who volleyed over
the keeper from inside the penalty area, a goal well deserved from the amount of early posession Fram had.
