South rocked up to their 2nd favourite pitch in Cambridge away from the fortress Leys. Everyone arrived on time as no one could bear another minute watching the England rugby lads crash out of the world cup.

In the time prior to the game the captain chose to put his team members' heads into a spin forcing the dizzy drill that is the pepper pot on them while Shahbaz sat bored stiff in the back of his goal, a position he would spend the rest of his morning.

St Ives appeared to turn up with 12 men and an umpire. For the first 15 minutes of the game South were dominant. Russell Johnson started off the scoring for the second week in a row. Maybe that was because he is (Wheels) the quickest runner in the team. South were in fine form and there was a smile on everyone’s face as we proceeded to stick goal after goal passed the oppo. Crisp passing, quick feet, strength, girlfriends and good looks were all things South were demonstrating in abundance.

The conversion of possession into goals was satisfying for all to watch. In this first period of the game the defence had to maintina their concentration as the game was mostly played ahead of them, It clearly wasn’t the game St Ives had been planning as they set out their team in the morning. It is not often a team concedes this many goals in quick succession but if you have ever been there to witness it you will know the stages the team goes through:

• After the first goal there is shock and cries of disbelief and the captain will shout some encouragement.
• Then when the second goal goes in the wind is knocked from their sails.
• After the 3rd goal the team resigns to the fact they are going to lose and they put up camp in their own half.
• When picking the ball out of the back of the net for the fourth time, it might seem easiest to give the ball straight back to the opponents from push back.
• After five goals in 25 minutes the team begins to shout at everyone and anyone who will listen to them such as umpires and team mates.

However, to their immense credit St Ives did step their game up with a few minutes to spare in the first half and were awarded a number of short corners in a row. South allowed their alertness to drop before one such short and in that moment St Ives took their opportunity to pull one back.

Half time team talk was a strange affair. clearly the captain was not satisfied with a 4 goal lead. After our ticking off we headed back to the goal fest.

The goals didn’t come easily in the second period but just like buses when one comes there is sure to be another straight after. That’s exactly what happened when about 15 minutes in John H found the ball on his reverse and to everyone’s disbelief he pulled off what is currently the strike of the season thumping the backboard.

The rest of the goals are a blur in my mind; I know one thing though, we held a clean sheet in the second half and Shahbaz didn’t feature. The last two goals I do remember as quite impressive a lot of passing followed by a Captain's tap in.

So all in all a convincing 9-1 win was dispatched. What has been said to be one of the 1st team's largest ever deficit in this league according to Jack's records. Well if you trust him with his facts you’ll already have him in your fantasy team because there’s no disputing he’ll have goal king rapped up by Christmas at his going rate.

The win somehow left the team wanting more so there’s clearly a strong side here on the verge of great things!
