Cambridge South 4ths, sponsored by PwC, were made to work hard for this narrow victory by a very young and quick Rutland side.

South had the majority of the possession and territory throughout the match, but struggled to create many clear-cut chances. When a shot on goal was achieved, it was generally thwarted by the Rutland ‘keeper, who was very good. However, he was also of a similarly young age to many of his teammates, with a consequent lack of inches, and it was this that was (accidentally) exploited for South’s winner.

Wilco was picked out by a cross at the top of the D; he swept first time and somehow succeeded in launching the ball skywards. The ball took a crazily looping trajectory, lobbed over the ‘keeper despite his attempts to leap up for it, before dropping rather flukily into the net. South therefore took a hard fought three points, in what was a good match.
