The Cambridge Community team came from far and further with a strong Eastern Europe influence, Newmarkets team came from well Newmarket. Still it was a fine day and a bumpy old pitch was to give somethings unexpected, Cambridge started strong with some Majic touches. Newmarket played deep but with bobbles a plenty it was only a matter of time before they conceded, a neat cutback and the ball was tucked away nicely, Majic!
Newmarket didn't learn and continued to play deep putting themselves under pressure giving away a free kick on the edge of the box, the Polish Peta shot sailed through the air Stretch a proper keeper, back playing in goal for the first time this season smiled as he thought this is all mine, he cupped his hands as though about to gently catch a snowflake, he smirked as he bent over to receive the ball into his hands ready for the applause from his admiring team mates, giving them the confidence that this wasn't jumpers for goal posts, only for the ball to go between his hands and legs, no bobble required here.
Newmarket then played a little higher up the pitch and were awarded with a penalty for a handball by the Canadian defender, Sharpie unconvincingly tucked it away as it bobbled into the bottom corner, during half time Reedy heard the opposing manager giving instructions, advice, encouragement, tactical stuff, Reedy looked bewildered he has never heard of such a thing, later when on the pitch he screamed "OFFSIDE OFFSIDE REF there was 2 3 4 of them at least", quality management!
The Communist defence allowed Hacker to waltz through and side foot it home then running back down the pitch air plane style towards his young son who had come to watch his father, but unfortunately wasn't looking. Then just to make it more exciting the Newmarket defence played a game of statues allowing the ten foot Bulgarian to finish from 2 yards. In the second half of the second half Newmarket played much the better football as the younger Europeans started to tire, Vowdy took the corner weighed up the defensive positioning, checked the air speed and sending the ball sailing over high and straight into the top corner of the net, a draw was looking likely. As time was running down Newmarket played the ball sweetly out of defence, in triangles through midfield, one touch, two touch, this was total football, the Cambridge defence were mesmerised as they could only smash the ball against each other only for the ball to fall at Vowdys feet he was 3 yards from goal, it bobbled on to his knee down his shin, off his toe and into the net for the winner. Cambridge had a goal disallowed as Edgar staunchly kept his flag up for offside for a true team effort.
