Men's 3rds complete the rout of rival Cambridge teams by beating Cambridge Nomads.

A comprehensive victory achieved by excellent team play throughout, with intelligent early passing, running off the ball, use of the wings and harrying the opposition.

It took CSouth nearly 30mins to open the scoring as left back Ian Glover ghosted up in to the D to appear unmarked and collect one of many James Hodge crosses from the right and blast it into the net. This slender half time lead was doubled shortly after the break as John Greaves pounced onto a Paul South drag back from the by-line. Nomads, although having some skillful players, were unable to get any team shape or shots in on goal . Sweeper John Benedikz in particular was uncompromising in getting the ball away from danger. Midfield dynamos Matt Kern, Andy Lewis and Paul South never gave up a lost cause, and attacks came from all angles.

Rupert Espley made it 3 from another Hodge cross as he tapped the ball in at the far post, and Tristan Knight wrapped things up with the final piece of action, as he followed John Greaves "run" and cross with an unstoppable effort from long range.

A fine display on the new, and incredibly slow Abbey astro, which seemed to suit the 3rds style of play
