It was a chilly afternoon when Cambridge South played host to Sawtry. The last time they met, Sawtry won by a hatful of goals. Cambridge South were out for revenge!

After a delayed start, the first goal of the day (and there were, once again, quite a few) came early from Cambridge South's centre half, Gemma Thomas. A great solo effort, Gemma managed to chip the goalkeeper at a tight angle. For the next ten minutes Cambridge South dominated, with several good chances on goal, but couldn't add to the score line.

Gradually Sawtry's strong passing game emerged, stretching the Cambridge defence and eventually forcing the equalizer. Cambridge, undeterred, battled on, with several good passes leading to goal-scoring opportunities for forward Tash Cox.

Unfortunately, with just minutes to half time, Sawtry squeezed another goal.

Cambridge came out strongly from half time and for the first few minutes again dominated the early play. But Sawtry settled and, after some excellent skill, managed another two, very good goals.

Despite the three goal deficit, Cambridge carried on. Throughout the game the Cambridge South goalkeeper, Cassie Woodfin made some great saves, the best deep in the second half when she dived to the bottom left corner.

Cambridge South's spirit never faltered and after a lot of hard work from all the team, Gemma Thomas again managed another terrific goal - a shot straight into the bottom left corner.

It was the last goal of the game and the strong Sawtry team were deserved 4-2 winners. But Cambridge South demonstrated some excellent individual performances, a sustained battling team spirit and can take some pride in the much-improved scoreline.
