Back to the bad old days, with too many enemy attackers unmarked and too many passes going astray. It was a game of four quarters, with Deeping capitalising on their dominance in periods either side of half time.

The first goal was scored by an unmarked Deeping attacker, after a smart right wing move involving a couple of their star players who appeared to be "guesting" for their 3rd team. South equalised immediately as James Hodge pounced on a Tristan Knight pass. Sadly Deeping scored again before the break as another attacker found acres of space, to shoot calmly into goal.

The third away goal was more of the same as South lost some team discipline and reverted to old habits of giving the ball away, and not tackling effectively - apart from Paul South and Dom Nelson, who kept on demonstrating how it should be done. The home side got a goal back as James Hodge got the ball in to John Greaves who slid the ball past the keeper just inside the far post from close to the penalty spot. This seemed to encourage CSouth to play like they have been doing in recent games, witht better passing moves opening up the opposition well. The ball found the Deeping net after one of the trademark GreavesLewis short corner routines, but was judged to have not left the D.

Indeed CSouth had previously had found the back netting a couple of times before that, from Tristan Knight and Paul South, but earlier infringements ruled out goals

Near the end Deeping wrapped up the points, with the somewhat talkative centre back scoring with a skillful flick off a short corner.

Ah well. The game showed that CSouth have sufficient skills and fitness for this league, but must stick to team discipline, and the basics of marking, tackling and passing throughout
