A cool cloudy day, accompanied by cloudy and not very cool hockey. Cambridge South struggled from the start against a fast and skilful Wisbech side, but the home defence of Harper, Evans, Glover and Lee managed to keep the marauding hordes from the Fens out until shortly before half time, when Wisbech intercepted a pass and swiftly broke away upfield to score their first.

South were unable to put many meaningful attacks together, in spite of the best efforts of Andy Lewis and Paul South from midfield in particular, and Rupert Espley's tireless work on the right wing. There were never enough teammates in open positions to receive the ball as Wisbech markers did their job well.

The second half was more one sided, with Steve Parker making numerous miraculous saves and the home defence becoming ever more "last ditch". Three more goals came, all towards the end, from breakaway moves as Wisbech capitalised on some poor tackling and loose passing. This was unfortunate, as for the most part South positioning, defence, general teamplay and effort were all good and deserved some reward.

There were many encouraging aspects to the game to take forward, which need to be built on to ensure mid table respectability.

Division 5NW is swiftly becoming two divisions. It is important that the 3rds beat those around us and don't ship too many goals when playing the higher teams.
