Cambridge South Ladies, sponsored by PwC, wrapped up their 2005/06 league programme with a narrow win over Huntingdon's 2nd team. South have finished comfortably in mid-table, probably in fifth spot when the handful of re-arranged games remaining are played out.

Huntingdon were the stronger team in the opening half of this match, as South failed to hold the ball for any consistent period. Gemma Thomas at sweeper was doing a fine job picking the ball off players drilbbling into the circle, but an away goal looked only a matter of time. With a little more composure in front of the net, Huntingdon would have been a couple up at the break, as on at least two occasions the ball was worked around South keeper Cassie Woodfin, only for the attacker to snatch her chance and miss the empty net.

A half-time team talk from coach Sean Park, concentrating on making runs off the ball in attack and marking players and not space in defence, appeared to do the trick as the roles were reversed in the second half. South were creating numerous chances and forcing short corners, with one of these resulting in an almighty goalmouth scramble in which Tash Cox and Jo Read appeared certain to score, until the Huntingdon defence managed to heroically smuggle the ball away.

Soon after this South were grateful to Cassie for an outstanding pad save, as Huntingdon mounted a fast counter-attack and got a very good shot off, bound for the corner of the South net. This was to be South's only scare of the half.

Inside the last ten minutes, the deadlock was finally broken. Good driving play from the outstanding Sarah Martin in midfield fed the ball in to centre forward Tash Cox. Her initial effort was blocked by the keeper, but with the ball stuck a couple of meters out, Tash managed to force the rebound home despite the presence of numerous defenders.
