South 3rds, sponsored by PwC, snatched a late winner in this closely fought game. South, who had been struggling to score in recent weeks, started as the dominant side, keeping the ball trapped in the St Ives half for long periods. The pressure told when Joe Williamson was quickest to react to a save from the visiting keeper, steering the ball home from close range.

St Ives took this setback in their stride and began to create chances and force short corners, one of which provided an equaliser from a well worked move.

The teams turned around all-square, with both sides feeling confident of winning the game. St Ives's best chances of scoring appeared to be their well-oiled short corner routine, whereas South's were to outmanouvre a St Ives defence that included a number of players who were very strong in the tackle but maybe not as mobile as they had been in their prime.

Eventually it was South who forced the issue. Once again a period of pressure in the St Ives end produced a number of half chances and when one fell to James Bridge, he cracked in a trademark powerful drive to give the home side victory.

Winger John Somerville's post match comment was, "A very good, enjoyable game. That was the best that our midfield have combined for a number of weeks."
