Men's 1sts beat Long Sutton 2

Cambridge South, proudly sponsored by PwC, achieved a comfortable victory against bottom of the table Long Sutton, despite never hitting top gear. The home side are without a point this season and it never looked like this would change against a Cambridge side currently sitting in 4th place in the league. This was Cambridge's first clean sheet for 10 league games, the previous coming against the same opposition in the reverse fixture at the beginning of the season.

Although Long Sutton battled hard in this game, they lacked the cutting edge up front to cause the away side any serious problems. And the fast movement from the front two of Cambridge South always looked likely to create goals. The ever lively Eliot Read scored a classic poachers goal, flicking in Jim Thorpe's hit in from outside the D. Chris Baker scored from a short corner and Robert Garrett poached two goals to give a 0-4 scoreline at half time.

Long Sutton fought hard in the second half and forced Cambridge to up their game, but two further goals ended any doubts that may have remained about where the points were going from this game. Chris Baker scored a second, and Russell Johnson capped a fine performance up front with a goal.

Captain Chris Baker commented that "We played well in places but at times were dragged down to their level. However, we raised our game when neccesary to come out worthy and convincing winners"
