Having managed to field possibly their strongest team of the season so far, South were confident that they would be able to build on last weeks victory.

Lacking a pitch to warm up on, South made the most of the rugby pitch to practice their girly jumps. Oh, how the opposition were quaking in their boots as they watched South looking like a well oiled machine. Having bounced a while it was time for the theory and discussions as to how South would leapfrog Sawtry in the league. Then with no more than five minutes to get the feel of the slightly frozen pitch the game began.

After all that hype, South looked uncomfortable for the first few minutes, mopping up a lot of periods of attack by Sawtry. But slowly things began to come together (I think the lack of pitch warm up time was to blame). South took the lead after Gemma picked the ball up in her own half and ran round some rather static defenders to the backline where an attempted shot/cross reached Tash who smashed it home.

From there South didn't look back as a period of play followed where the ball spent most of the time in the Sawtry half. A hit out was blocked by Gemma who shot at goal and the ball flew up off a defenders foot into the top of the net. No goal according to the umpire who downgraded it to a short corner for dangerous play!! South managed to keep their heads amongst the madness, to take their 1-0 lead into half time.

A rearrangement of the team saw Bek, who had had a storming game at left back, move to left wing to allow Liz into the action. The half didn't start too well for South. Their usual attacking play from the push back backfired and some how Sawtry scored. But not to be rattled by this South began to pile the pressure back on. Sarah, Liles and Hayley took charge of the centre of the pitch and began sending high quality balls through to the forwards. One such attack saw Tash collide with the goalkeeper leaving her with a large bruise on her neck, but with the possibility of scoring she jumped back up to play on. Only to stumble off the pitch seconds later with a stiff neck.

Another switch of players saw Bek move to centre forward and Emma came on to left wing, returning after injuring her knee last month. Shortly after South were awarded a short corner. Liles hit out superbly to Gemma who short hard and low into the bottom left hand corner and regain the lead. Moments later Hayley passed the ball through to Gemma who rounded the defender and flicked in round the keeper and the ball rolled in past the out stretched Bek who was putting the defender off.

Throughout the game, Ellie played outstandingly at right back having several physical battles with the Sawtry forward, and Sally and Becca as ever controlled the defence. All in all a great performance which saw South move up to third in the league.
