A lovely sunny day…again

March looked the better team from the start, with some great moves, but were unable to score, mainly due to some heroic defending with the returning Matt Bailey and calm, confident Man of the Match, James Lee, making frequent saving tackles.

It was Cambridge South who opened the scoring from one of their breakaway moves, with Andy Lewis hitting the ball into the D for ace goal poacher John Greaves to turn it into the net from his usual two yard range.

March gained the upper hand early in the second half with an expert short corner move and then a goalmouth scramble past a despairing Stuart Creed who was unlucky not to get the ball away, and got himself injured in the process.

The home team stuck at the task and Toby Bull equalised with a fine hooked effort form a tight angle. Sadly March got the winner as they outnumbered a tiring home defence for their third. South were unable to come back again, although the effort never flagged.

March probably deserved to win as they were generally superior, had more of the ball and in better positions. Nevertheless South 3rds showed some encouraging signs with better earlier passing in attack, more decisive defending and running off the ball.

Next week…Alford away, with points needed to make an impact on this league.
