"Benedikz Cup hockey thriller" began with a bang at Newmarket leisure centre, as Cambridge South faced off against Newmarket in a fierce field hockey match.

Howard Steed from South swiftly scored, sending the crowd into a frenzy, while Rob Barton and Jordan Walker added to the tally with goals that were nifty.

Former South player John Benedikz, now with Newmarket, showed his prowess with two goals of his own, leaving South fans feeling quite alone.

Roland Li, in his swansong appearance for Cambridge South, played with finesse, earning the MoM award and leaving fans impressed, no less.

Harry Warner found his niche as a wing back, displaying skills that left opponents on the attack, off-track.

But alas, LoM of the day was Andy Thomas, who prematurely declared defeat at 0-1, causing a stir and some stress.

Despite Thomas' doubt, the game was closely fought, with the final score of 3-4, a result that was hot.

The two umpires, Vicky and Mellie, controlled the game with skill, keeping the match fair and fulfilling their officiating thrill.

Mellie, in her first men's match, showed her mettle, proving she could handle the pressure, without a single frettle.

And so, the Benedikz Cup hockey thriller ended with cheers, as both teams bid farewell with smiles and no tears.

With pies as a treat, a post-game delight, the players left the field, savoring the night.
