South faced Cambridge Uni in what was another close fought encounter for those of the team who could still walk. Outstanding performances on the South side were from Pearson, who at times tried to take all twenty-five of the Cambridge Uni team single-handedly, and Paresh, who was even more solid than the ever-solid Rossellini in defence.

Unfortunately, the score did not end with South on the winning side. Mikey worked his little socks off as usual. Richard, who is increasingly becoming the heartbeat of the team, made good interceptions and used the ball well. Captain-for-the-day, Mark, had good hair. Jim, Jason, Harry, Graham, Jack, Stu, Colin, Craig, Jamie, Rob Garrett and even James Cobbe were sorely missed.

The Uni scored a good goal when Waggers passed to Baggers, Baggers to Podgy-Smythe, Podgy on to Pinky, then Pinky to Doggers who carpeted the ball straight into the goal just like tossing a tissue into the wagga-pagga-bagga. Quite how they managed this with heads so full of knowledge, we will never know. However, sometime in the second half it happened again, George being caught with his legs wider apart than…well I’m sure you can finish that sentence yourself.

Honorary mentions have to go to Graham, who very nearly got Lemon of the Match for turning up to support, and axe-man Bhav, who felled a teenager with one swish of his mighty club. Average Dave didn’t get a single Lemon vote for the first time in ten years.

Next week it’s City. So let’s F.E.U.
