This was a bit more like the 3rd team we know and love. A great team performance against a strong Wisbech team gave the 3rds their first double of the season, and moved them up the table ..swapping places with Wisbech on the way.

Dominant goal keeping from Shabhaz , with a couple of acrobatic saves, supported by assertive defending from LansdellSneadGloverLee restricted Wisbech from getting any shots in, whilst the SouthDijkstra midfield hub ensured the away team controlled the centre of the pitch releasing Hodge and Espley down the wings at frequent intervals, and enabling Man of the match Andy Lewis to create mischief, crosses and penetrating attacks...all "supervised" by Greaves keeping the Wisbech defence honest near their goal.

The only score of thr first half was from a bullet Lewis cross for James Hodge to volley in to the net from the far post. The lead was stretched by an awesome reverse stick long range effot from that man Lewis again, after Paul South found him with a pinpoint pass leaving the retreating Wisbech defence nowhere

Wisbech got one back and had a period of sustained pressure but were unable to equalise as the CSouth defence and midfield combined to close them down...mention must be made of Neil Snead who stuck to the star Wisbech playmaker throughout this period to reduce their options and snuff out the threat.

CSouth regained the ascendancy, and after some further shots and well worked short corner routines, got the final goal, when a Wisbech defender kindly hit the ball up into John Greaves shoulder. Instead of writhing around for the artistic merit points, Greaves calmly let the ball drop and placed a neat forward defensive effort into the net from at least 3 ft out.

Job done. 3 points gained, and the target of 5 league wins before the mid season break reached. We now have more points than for the whole of the previous season in this league. Happy Christmas
