Cambridge South 3rds, sponsored by PwC, travelled up to Long Sutton hoping that 11 players would arrive before the push back. Luckily they did and all 11 played their part in a convincing victory over a rather physical but fit and "up for it" mid table opposition.

The first goal took time to arrive but a Greaves-Pope short corner routine did the trick, with James Pope manoeuvring the ball well to get in his shot, which thundered into the back board. Long Sutton had the better of the play for a period in the second half but one wonder save and all round dominance of the penalty area by goalkeeper Lino Di Lorenzo meant that they got in few shots. Andy Lewis, who had been a threat throughout along with James Pope, the tigerish Rupert Espley and Paul South attacking from midfield, wrapped up the scoring. Lewis dribbled seemingly away from danger, and shot from a narrow angle, confusing the defence who could only parry the ball into the net.

CSouth had had enough other chances including one great move ending with a Greaves shot against a post, and other efforts from Espley, Pope and Lewis, but were unable to improve their goal difference further. This performance, with no weak links, great commitment, some smart hockey, and desire to help one another throughout, keeps CSouth 3rds near the top of the table.
