The opening league game of the season promised to be tough as newly promoted Cambridge South 3rds, sponsored by PwC, faced a Wisbech team just relegated from Div 5NW. However the away team made the best possible start as Steve Fleck pounced onto a Suk Pannu long corner after about 34 seconds to take the lead. Wisbsch equalised soon after, from a routine short corner move which found a forward in space, who gave the keeper Shahbaz Ali no chance, and then took the lead with a classy wing move, but with the game continuing in an open fashion CSouth were able to use Suk Pannu and James Raikes on their own wings to good effect, with the ever lively Andy Lewis causing havoc in the home defence whenever he got the ball. It was a Lewis shot that rebounded off the post to give the lurking skipper John Greaves a simple chance from 1 yard out to equalise.

Still there was more, as just before half time each side got a further goal. Steve Fleck showed more of his wizadry, dribbling into the D and passing to Paul South, who made no mistake to make it 3 - 2, then Wisbech equalised again with a deflection off a defender wrong footing the keeper. This was unfortunate for the CSouth defence, who were mainly solid, sticking well to their marking, with centre back Gareth Hebbron constantly turning defence into attack.

The second half was little different, although Wisbech took the lead for the first time with a long range effort through a crowded D. CSouth equalised as Paul South bagged his second by prodding a Steve Fleck shot into the net as the keeper tried to save. A John Greaves blast from one of many penetrating Suk Pannu free hits was enough to retake the lead, and the game was put beyond Wisbech's reach with a Rob Barton reverse stick special near the final whistle making it 6 - 4.

Overall a great result for CSouth against one of the better teams in this division. The challenges of early season availability and unfamiliar players and positions were in this case outweighed by good passing, use of space, and assertive attacking play, building from midfield.
