The second half belonged to Wood, but they failed to take their chances and as the game went on there was just a niggling doubt that Tuffley might get back on terms. Wood emptied the bench on 75 minutes, and with his first touch of the ball Marcus Foxwell launched a crossfield ball to Keegan Bowes, who fed Ash Peyton to double the advantage.
