This Saturday saw South play their locals, Cambridge Ladies 2nds, in an important game as both teams wanted maximum points. This showed as both teams started bright and alert with quick passes leading to several early chances. South scored the first goal when Gemma Thomas, at the top left of the D skilfully dribbled the ball round two defenders to find the bottom left of the goal with a killer strike!

Throughout the half Cambridge Ladies made many strong tackles only to find many of their passes cut out by Margot Overbeek and Becca Lumb, combining well together on the right. As usual Gemma was everywhere and Sue Snape made many important interceptions in South's area.

Tash Cox came very close to scoring South's second when she found herself in a one-on-one situation with the keeper. Unlucky for Tash there was a bit too much pace on the ball. The first half ended with South 1-0 up.

South came out hard in the second half using longer-range passes from midfield to open up gaps in Cambridge Ladies defence. This worked well and it wasn’t long before Liz Brimer scored a well-deserved goal from the left of the D.

South had to call on Cassie Woodfin to make some great saves throughout the game. Cambridge Ladies did manage to find a goal later in the second half but soon after Gemma replied by neatly tucking the ball round the keeper after bringing it herself into the area. By now it was 3-1 and nearing the end of the game. Even so South had bundles of energy with many late breaks and were unlucky not to score more.

Next Saturday South are away to league leaders Wisbech Town 2nds, who currently enjoy a three point advantage. A win would therefore bring South level on points…
