Men's 2nds beat March Town 2

South started slowly, seemingly in awe of March's quick passing game. A well-taken goal by March after four minutes shook the home team from its slumber.

Jim Lockhart ignited South's play with a coolly taken goal; netting after his first shot was parried back to him.

South soon gained control over the game with Dan Adlington's mopped up effort after twenty minutes. With no sign of our two errant subs, the home team started to gel as an eleven after the early disarray.

March always threatened but were consistently disheartened by some fabulous goalkeeping by the Welsh wizard, Tim Poole. Making some outrageously fine saves, Tim's brilliance provided a source of frustration with pivotal interceptions throughout the game.

The other inspirational figure was Matt Readman spoiling attacks and instigating South's best play.

After a Beasley team talk at the break, alerting various possible dangers, South instantly added to their score, forcing a short corner and converting a neat Korstanje lay off to skipper Creed who gathered and shot deftly.

March were now being played out of the game. "Sleepy-head" Adlington dispatched his second deliciously, after excellent supporting work from Readman and Wong. The latter chased a lost ball for a cut back past a dejected left back.

The final strike on sixty-nine minutes was pure class: Lewis slipped the ball to Adlington on the edge of the D who then blasted a cracking right wing cross for Wong to finish confidently as he ghosted in to the centre of the D.

Matt Murray had an excellent game as emergency sweeper in light of our limited options brought about by being two subs light. In the end it mattered not.

During the post-match beer and nosh, poorly attended by the home team (…shocking!!) the opposition were full of praise for our man of the match Tim Poole.
