So round 2 of the cup against Huntingdon who are currently top of the league. After the joy of Cambridge Saturday traffic when United are at home, and a rapid transfer of Ali G by Vicky from the Uni ground, both teams lined up. Huntingdon attacked first and pressurised our goal but some good defending and some good saves from Ali from both open play and short corners kept the score 0-0. Then a dazzling run from Kylie and a great pass put Ley in on goal, past a defender and then one on one with the keeper. Ley confidently drew the keeper towards her then slotted it past right into the corner 1-0 South. The pressure then mounted again and we repelled wave after wave of Huntingdon attacks losing count of the number of shorts. Finally their pressure counted and a goal was scored. 1-1. Kylie and Gemma in the centre of midfield made some good breaks aided by Jo and Ley up front and we looked threatening but mainly on the counter attack. Half time and a pause for breath. The second half was more of the same, Huntingdon grew in confidence, spreading the ball round well and using both sides of the pitch. We struggled to clear our lines and unfortunately let in two further goals. We continued to look dangerous on the counter attack and defended well in particular Emma and Lou G on the flanks keeping their wings at bay but unfortunately went down in the end 1-3.

Well played everyone. It was a really good game and we definitely gave Huntingdon a run for their money!
