The pattern, so it seems, for each half was, we scored first and then let 2 in, but each half had its own story to tell.

Peterborough looked a young and skilful side from the outset, but South was able to match them with a confident start to the match which soon saw Will Jones scoring a debut goal for South from a good shot after some good passing. South was to have another couple of chances having had the better of the first 20 minutes.

The pace of the game took its toll on the South players and Peterborough began to come through the midfield more and they equalised with a good shot in the air that went across the goal. South could not contain them and Peterborough got another to make it 1:2. The break couldn't come quick enough.

The half team talk was all about slowing it down, disciplined with the marking. This did work and Peterborough was held at bay and South got a good equaliser when JJ Clark played a cross field pass to Shahzad in space who passed it first time into the D and James Raikes finished with a reverse stick flick, 2:2. Again South had 2 more chances, both from James Raikes, but they were saved or just missed the goal.

A slip up in the tight marking was enough to let Peterborough in to make it 2:3. Peterborough made it 2:4 on the break as South pushed for an equaliser.

It was a good game and played at a level that the 4th team should be playing at every week. This should provide the incentive for all the players to get fitter. The 2nd half showed that the team can play well when disciplined and there was the welcome addition of Will Jones in midfield.
