Men's 3rds are unlucky to lose to Boston

A rough game against very physical opposition. CSouth allowed themselves to lose discipline at key moments as a result of numerous perceived injustices, which obscured a battling performance with more good attacking moves but sadly insufficient goals to prevent league leaders Boston from grabbing an away win.

The home defence of BenedikzSneadCreedLee were again largely solid but were unable to prevent Boston grabbing an early lead when their centre forward snuck between 3 defenders to bundle the ball into goal. This was against the run of play as CSouth had had chances and much of the possession, using the ball well and combining in attack mainly up the wings through Lewis, and Espley in particular. The central midfield of Nelson and South kept plugging away, but to no avail. A penalty shout went unheard (foot on the line) and the Boston keeper was called into action a number of times.

After half time Boston were gifted too much of the ball as the old frailties of incomplete tackling and blind passing reappeared. The second Boston goal was a text book short corner move to an unmarked player by the far post. CSouth didnt give up, and had chances, but only managed a late consolation from demon marksman Paul South straight from a short corner.

It was a shame to lose in such a way, with too much rough play - largely , but not exclusively from Boston - which dragged Csouth down to a level below the rest of this season's performances
