Woodford's difficult season continues after they were beaten 52-17 at home by North Walsham in London One North.

The loss leaves Woodford four points adrift at the bottom of the table and still without a win at home all season.

North Walsham were in control of this match from the outset, running in eight tries, for a bonus-point victory.

The hosts, featuring former Vikings’ three quarter John Dwight, were by no means blown away and contributed to an entertaining contest with a try in each half.

Walsham full back James Knight touched down first, with right wing Will Quinn crossing the line next with both tries converted from out wide.

Woodford’s Peter Hyett struck a penalty from 27 metres, before Knight got his second try, this time unconverted.

To celebrate his 100th first team appearance, Walsham's Shane van Vuuren was next on the scoreboard, beating his man out on the left and coming in to score between the uprights.

With half time approaching, the visitors’ play became a little too loose, allowing Woodford wing Adam Duffy to go over. Peter Hyett converted to leave the score 26-10 at the break.

Vikings flanker Mike Rouse struck soon after the restart and his score was converted by David Treglown before his Woodford opposite number Mike Lawler went over from a lineout five metres from the Walsham goal. Hyett's conversion kick crept just over the crossbar.

Will Hodgson started the third quarter with a try-scoring break straight through the middle and the Walsham man put down a second under the posts five minutes later.

Both scores were converted by Treglown.

There was still time for one more score as Vikings man of the match Chris Kent scored the final touchdown which went unconverted.

Woodford are away at Colchester on Saturday.
