Cambridge South began this match against Sawtry wanting a win to consolidate their mid-table place in the league. However, illness meant that they started with only ten players which did not help their cause early on. A big thank you goes to Katie Thornburrow who got out of her sick-bed to come and play. Before her arrival, Sawtry went one up very early on from an unstoppable short corner strike.

The half term break had left a few players slightly ring-rusty and as usual it took South quite a while to warm up and get their eye in. The team was disappointed to go two down shortly before half time due to a slight misunderstanding in defence and enterprising play from the Sawtry forwards.

A rousing team talk from captain Rachel Rule at half time seemed to do the trick however. Striker Kate Nustedt led by example and South gained several short corners early on in the second half. Eventually one of these was forced home by left wing Emma Clarke to give South hope of a comeback. Soon after they were level when Rachel Rule's cross into the D was met by Kate Nustedt who scored with a neat flick.

The last ten minutes of the game was end to end and the result could have gone either way. Cassie Ragnauth in goal, sporting her new bright yellow kit, made two excellent saves late on to deny Sawtry. Special mention must also go to Claire Roberts who had an excellent game at right back in a defence that was extremely strong in the second half. In the end a draw was probably a fair result for both sides in an entertaining game.
