Cambridge South Men's 3rds, sponsored by PwC, moved clear in the second promotion place in East League Division 7NW with a victory against City of Peterborough Men's 8ths on Saturday. The fixture at Coldham's Common astroturf saw Cambridge South record their fourth win from five league matches this season.

Against a 10-man Peterborough side Cambridge South were dominant from the start, with midfield anchorman James Pope directing play from the middle of the pitch.

Strong play from midfielders Tim Waller and Wilco Dijkstra for Cambridge South saw steady pressure being applied to the Peterborough goal, but a determined holding effort by Peterborough and some excellent keeping frustrated the Cambridge forwards and kept the early scores level. The deadlock was finally broken by forward John Horsley, who followed up with a second goal to put Cambridge 2-0 up at the interval.

Some dangerous breaks by Peterborough threatened to put the game back into the balance, but the win was sealed when midfielder Mark Jackson added a third for Cambridge South.
