Cambridge South climbed out of the bottom two with an extremely competent display against what was, at best, a mediocre St Neots team.

South dominated from the start of the game and throughout the first half and fashioned a great number of excellent chances to score. The midfield of David and James Bridge, Andy (Kenny) Kennedy and Finn Johnson ran the ball into the opposition D, creating several chances. The first goal came via the stick of Wilco Dijkstra, who has scored at least once in all the games against St Neots (4 in total) this season. A strong run down the right hand side involving Kenny, Nick Wong and Finn was pulled back across goal for the ever-present Dutchman to sweep home. South's second goal came shortly after from a good strike by midfield dynamo James Bridge.

Despite scoring twice South had not looked at their best. However, from this point until half time continued to create chances and look equally as good as they have in their recent games. South used the run in and switch back to create at least three chances for various players but alas squandered these opportunities. They also created half a dozen first half short corners, but the short corner striker John Benedikz failed to make much impression on the defence.

St Neots came out to the second half fighting and initially South failed to really get to grips with the opposition midfield and forwards. This short period of play brought the defence of Ky Ho, Will Marston, Andy Pounce and sweeper John Benedikz properly into the game and game them some proper work to do. The settled back line controlled the situation with their regular composure, leaving keeper Will Benedikz with only a couple of shots to clear away.

South recovered from these early set backs to begin their best passage of play of the game. It was during this period that South were able to put the game well beyond St Neots. A close range shot from Nick Wong slipped past the keeper for three-nil. Within minutes South scored following perhaps their best move of the game. First half substitute James Pope launched a rapid counter attack and drove half the length of the pitch before selflessly passing the ball to Nick Wong who slipped the ball under the advancing keeper. Four-nil became five-nil when James Bridge added his second of the match. James' drive across the circle drew the keeper, who was wrong footed before James slotted the ball home.

South settled back after this and went a little quiet. Andy (Kenny) Kennedy, who had played a determined game throughout, stopped two St Neots' clearances in quick succession. Unfortunately both of these were with his hand and he went off with what turnout out to be a double fracture of the finger. Tragically for the team this is likely to end his playing for the season. Closely following Kenny off the pitch was the St Neots centre back who deflected a James Bridge shot onto his own eyebrow producing alarming quantities of claret. During this dormant period for South, St Neots broke forward and won a short corner. The switch of strikers beat the onrushing defenders and the St Neots forward then wrong footed keeper Benedikz to score inside the right post. This was disappointing as the South defence were rock solid throughout.

As the match was drawing to a close Nick Wong picked up a ball cleared away from a short corner. Finn Johnson, who played probably his best game of the season, made an intelligent run wide and drew the defender out of Nick's path, allowing the South striker to beat the keeper at his near post, for his hat trick and South's sixth.
