Men's 1sts lose to Wisbech Town 2

Cambridge South, proudly sponsored by PwC, were unable to convert chances into goals as they lost 3-2 to Wisbech Town seconds on Saturday.

Cambridge started sharply and controlled long periods of play in the first half, but struggled to create any clear-cut openings. They improved as the half wore on, though, and Chris Baker was able to open the scoring after Robert Garrett forged his way into the Wisbech D. Wisbech equalised soon after, however, with an accurate shot from a short corner that slipped in at the right post.

The set-back didn't deter Cambridge, and in the second half they continued to push forwards looking for the goals to reward their slick passing in midfield. This allowed Wisbech to hit Cambridge on the counter-attack and on one of these attacks they forced a short corner, from which they took the lead as the shot bounced over keeper Steve Parker.

Despite creating more opportunities, and getting many short corners, South were unable to find the back of the net and it was Wisbech who were next to score, before Cambridge pulled one back late in the game (again through Chris Baker). This was an improved performance from Cambridge, but they were left to rue a lack of sharpness in front of goal.

Captain Chris Baker commented that "the team was let down by poor finishing in front of goal and also the final killer pass".
