Men's 4ths lose to Boston 3

Cambridge South 4th team, sponsored by PwC, turned up with a strong looking team on paper and not for the first time with a forward line up consist mostly of players name James.

South started the game reasonably well, but somehow, Boston were able to control the midfield and had more of the possession and play. It was all pretty tight until out of the blue James Raikes was able to score with the first real chance for South with a finish that looked like he learnt something from one of the opposition's forwards from the previous game at Spalding, 1-0. Boston equalised through a strong pass from the right and their left-winger was able to deflect in from close range. Boston then went ahead via some close control from their deep playing centre forward. South however felt that the game was still there to be won and continue to press forward, but alas Boston got a third before half time and the score at the break was 1-3.

South shuffled things around for the second half, but it was one of those days when nothing seems to come off and Boston was soon 1-4 up. South continue to press via Steve Fleck, James Cobbe and Joe Williamson, but chances were few and far between. The day was summed up when James Hodge and Sava Cornegrata collided and clashed their heads half way through the second half and made even worse when Boston scored a short corner after the final whistle.

Target for next week - keep a clean sheet.
