Men's 3rds grind out a one-nil win at St Ives 4

Another good result gound out against a skillful St Ives team against whom we shared the points last season. The defence of PassmoreJellyLeeBenedikzSnead held firm throughout, with Simon Jelly particularly making life hard for St Ives forwards. CSouth took the lead with a pinpoint effort from distance by Andy Lewis designed to confuse the keeper by hitting the post and then spinning slowly over the line.

After half time St Ives had most of the ball but the away defence stood firm, keeping out the numerous short corners, so that Shabhaz had very few saves to make. Eventually CSouth gained the upper hand with Stu Creed and Paul South frequently at the heart of things as always. St Ives got increasingly frantic in search of the equaliser,leaving space for a number of good CSouth passing moves, which went unrewarded with shots passing agonisingly close to the post, each time the wrong side, with the keeper beaten.

It was good to see every one of the 14 players playing their part, substituting seamlessly, and keeping going to the end for an excellent win.

and the rest of the defence. Keeping St Ives out with brave, sensible and decisive tackling, harrying and no sign of fa???ying about.
