Cambridge South, proudly sponsored by PwC, finished the season with a 3-2 win at March Town 2nds and in so doing secured 4th place in Division 3NW.

Anything other than victory had the potential of dropping the team down a few places, so captain Chris Baker was keen to ensure a professional and disciplined performance. March were third from bottom and without the possibility of moving either up or down the league on the final day, they had only pride to play for. The away side's game plan was undermined before they arrived at the pitch, though, with a number of regulars absent from the team and further complications caused when Chris Massey came down with flu in the morning.

Nonetheless, Cambridge managed to control much of the first half and went in at half time 1-0 up thanks to a Mark Taylor goal. March had threatened occasionally, but were unable to create any clear-cut chances. They started the second half with more determination and urgency, though, sensing the possibility of grabbing a point or more, but a second goal from Mark Taylor 10 minutes into the half should have settled the game.

Unfortunately, Cambridge started to lose their structure - left back Ron Oren having to leave the pitch through injury surely didn't help - and March Town got a goal back midway through the half. Only a few minutes later and they'd equalised when the marking from the Cambridge midfield went AWOL. It was now end-to-end stuff with both sides fighting for the winner. Scares at both ends followed, as defences got jittery. Then, with only 30 seconds remaining, a sweeping move up the centre of the pitch involving Robert Garrett and Chris Baker opened an opportunity for Mark Taylor, who completed his hattrick by burying the rebound after the March 'keeper had saved his first effort.

Captain Chris Baker commented, "This team never do it the easy or relaxing way, but we got there in the end and secured a victory which guaranteed the fourth spot that the whole squad wanted so badly."
