The M5s turned up to St Neots in plenty of time and with a stubborn determination. Low temperatures maybe, but sunny and wind free. Shahzad liked the sunset so much he based his positions, substitutions and initial direction of play on how best to view it. It felt like quite a balanced game, with both sides keeping good structure and making plenty of runs and passes.

We were ahead for most of the match after an early goal from Man of the Match, Pip Ho, being backed up by captain Adrian Granger Brown and his broken finger, took South to one-nil. After no goals were scored for quite some time, Howard Steed decided that confusion was the best tactic and deployed a deceptively slow short corner injection. The clean sheet was held right until the last few minutes, when one of several strikes from Saints finally made it in, to equalise the same.

Ben, in goal, made a number of great saves, including one where he managed to use his stick to save a fast and high ball from a short corner. Another highlight was from Ky who, not satisfied with providing a solid defence, made his way to the front to try and get his second goal in as many decades. Peter Creed and Andy T both made a number of great runs and shots on goal. In fact, Peter Creed provided such a convincing threat that the keeper at one point decided it would be best to forget all about the ball and throw him up into the air.

Stuart Creed defected to another team at the eleventh hour and rightly earnt multiple Lemon votes for doing so. Having five players for four midfield positions proved sufficiently complex to confuse just about everyone's substitution routine. Unfortunately, this title was inevitably taken from Stu by Andy T. Despite turning up to the right pitch, at the right time and expertly locking his vehicle, he found the challenge of serving himself chips too great and spilled an entire pint of cider all over the food.
