Men's 3rds v : Awaiting Result

A good flowing game, with both sides having the chances to win. First blood to Boston, who scored from a classy short corner move soon after the start. This was somewhat against the run of play, but Cambridge South couldn't convert good passing and positive attacks into shots on goal. Luckily the old Greaves/Lewis routine worked as well as ever to gain the equaliser, with an Andy Lewis corker straight from the short giving the keeper no chance.

The home team got quite a few short corners but in spite of getting more shots on goal, couldn't get the ball into the net. One of the best efforts came from the in-form Rupert Espley, whose cultured flick towards the top corner was brilliantly tipped over the bar by John Greaves.

All through the game the midfield trio of Dean, Nelson and Dijkstra limited Boston to playing down the flanks where James Lee and Stu Creed harried them. When they did get through they were confronted by the fearsome John Benedikz.

South took the lead halfway through the second half, with John Greaves ramming a Stu Creed free hit decisively into goal. Unfortunately as South tired towards the end, Boston found fresh energy and got their second from a fast breakaway whilst most of the home team were puzzling over how they had managed to steal the ball. This was a shame since South were having a good spell and put together numerous excellent moves, but the Boston defence were usually able to recover the ball as attackers searched for the final pass or shot.

The final moments passed agonisingly slowly as the entire Boston team went up for a succession of short corners, but they couldn't get a winner.

This draw ensured safety in Div 5NW, with two games to go to try to reach mid table.
