This match was a few notches up in pace from the previous week's unmentionable defeat to St Ives. The first five minutes saw a number of tussles, the ball switching possession in midfield as each side vied for dominance. March kept the pressure up, gathered their forces and rallied their midfield heavy artillery during the second quarter. A succession of short corners was awarded to March but each was repelled, much to South's relief. A cracking shot on the right goalpost was deflected by valiant Tracy who had the good sense to hold the stick in front of her body. Sarah, playing left back, was less lucky, and was "taken out" by the writer's friendly fire when clearing the ball out of the D. Sarah limped off.

Every time March captured the ball they followed it up with a cracking shot. March put two big hits past goalie Sarah before half-time. When South did gain possession, the mids and forwards were quick up the pitch with the ball into the D but couldn't get a clear strike or push past the March defenders. Towards the end of the second quarter South were gaining an edge on March with more control of the ball but no goal was forthcoming.

After half-time, March regained their strength and the play was predominantly in South's half. A scrappy third goal came from a short corner in the third quarter. South's intermittent offensives on the March goal were hesitant at times. Players were well-spaced for the most part, with less of the bunching seen in previous matches and better use of both wings.

March continued with their fast-paced, staccato game of stop-and-hit. An oblique hit from March skimmed past the goalmouth but the attacker failed to tap it in, to a chorus of "Oh"s. Mel had a close chance of scoring in the last quarter but her shot on goal went behind the line. South, feeling the despondency of a second heavy defeat in two weeks, could not keep March from scoring two more goals before the final whistle blew.

Terry, our umpire, said before the match "If you lose against March then you’re doomed", but as both sides shook hands a couple of the March players commented that South's play was strategically good. In time, March believed that the South team would be a force to be reckoned with, but, at present, there wasn’t enough "oomph" to score the goals.
