The afternoon autumn sun cast its golden sheen

On this eclectic and highly talented team.

Bereft of skipper Barton – who was sick –

But instructions in our ears for hockey to be slick and quick.

M5 victors (George, Matt, Ivo and Jo) relished a second game – but at home,

While Justin flew in ‘specially from Rome!

The veterans Shazhad, Pipes, Dan and Jan

Rolled back the years – they shuffled, walked, jogged and even ran!

Ben’s string of saves repelled an experienced Neots side – he kept his nerve,

While Nuwan defended robustly, distributing calmly and attacking with verve.

Henry controlled the left flank, attacking with frightening pace

And Jesse terrified their defence on the right – his sliding winning goal was a showcase!

And of course, Dexter set up Jesse’s winner and opened the scoring with a shot he nailed.

All five had MoM votes but Jesse prevailed.

So – definitely centre stage were the youth…

Clearly the future of Cambridge South!

[Ed - that's "youth" pronounced "y-oww-ff" right?!]
