Cambridge South 2nds, sponsored by PwC, took a while to get going, mainly due to the unseasonably warm conditions and the absence of a delayed opposition.

When they did arrive Wisbech were right on the pace but were kept out by resolute home defending, epitomised by the excellent Steve Lane. South only really woke up when John Horsley snatched the opener with a deft reverse stick effort from close in after working his way to a sight of goal rather than just whacking the ball.

Wisbech equalised shortly after half time from a breakaway resulting in attackers outnumbering the defence, leaving an unmarked forward with an easy chance. South were not to be deterred, were getting the majority of possession and were able to open up the game using both wings as well as through the middle via the determined Mike Thorogood.

Short corners were won, and all resulted in shots from Andy Lewis or Thorogood, but it was skipper Greaves who grabbed the second as he pounced on the ball in his now usual position of two yards out and lifted it over a prone keeper at the nth attempt [Editors note – It only took three tries].

Gareth Peat wrapped up the scoring near the end as he dribbled the ball across the D before joyously shooting off his reverse stick. Although there were some defensive wobbles in the final minutes, a spot of Greaves melodrama with his customary injury - a twisted knee this time, and a knack of squandering possession with some sloppy and delayed passing, this victory was well deserved.

The home team displayed their brand of teamworking, never giving up, and increasingly sophisticated interplay which will enable us to further improve on this season's equal-best finish, seventh place, and outright record points total, thirty-one, in Div 5NW.
