Cambridge South played their best game of the season against high flying Long Sutton.

Flowing attacking moves were rewarded when Tom Gowing placed the ball into the top of the net from a pinpoint Andy Lewis cross soon after the start. Skipper John Greaves extended the lead soon after as he pounced on a rebound off the goalpost to drive the ball past the flailing keeper with a reverse stick effort.

Although Long Sutton came back just before half time with a well worked move, the home defence otherwise stood firm with Andy Bleach coolly sweeping the ball away from the danger area repeatedly and his fellow defenders snuffing out attacks bravely.

After half time South were on the defensive and conceded many short corners but few shots were allowed. Tom Moy made the game safe with a corker of a shot from long range near the end after Chris Clegg had almost managed to remove his ear by crashing into a Long Sutton forward.

South themselves had numerous efforts from attacking breaks, with Greaves, Finn Johnson, and Andy Lewis all being unlucky. Some were saved on the line and others went narrowly wide. The Long Sutton keeper had to play excellently to keep the score down.

Special mention must be made of Stuart Creed, turning out for the team fresh from attending to his newly extended family. Such dedication. The whole team played well for a well deserved victory to keep South well in mid-table.
