Cambridge South gained a convincing win over bottom of the table side St Ives on Saturday. South felt this was a game they had to win, especially following a disappointing draw against this side earlier on in the season. For once they started strongly, and were soon ahead thanks to a good finish from Kate Nustedt. However, a short corner for St Ives saw them draw level with a fine strike that deceived the South goalkeeper. Shortly before half time however, South were back in front from one of their own short corners, Kate Nustedt claiming her second of the match.

The second half was very one sided. St Ives made a few forays into the South half but their young forward line was unable to get through the South defence. Player of the match Kate Nustedt claimed two more goals, both very well taken with first time shots following crosses into the D. South could have had several more goals, with at least one being cleared off the line.

In general South were pleased with both the result and their standard of play, especially as captain Rachel Rule had to do a fair amount of shuffling with players and positions. With only two more games to go, South have consolidated their mid table position and will be looking to finish the season in good style against two of the stronger league teams.
