Long Sutton mens first set to right the wrongs last time the 2 sides met. Boasting one of the stronger sides Sutton has put out all season long Sutton looked set to take the game to Cambridge south 2nds who took all 3 points earlier in the season.

Looking to start early and maintain early pressure it would only take 23 seconds for Sutton to go ahead josh baker finishing his first of the afternoon. The second would then come 2 minutes later, Luke Proctor deflecting a Josh baker cross. Sutton would then be caught napping and south would add there first tapping in a loose ball in defence. The 2 goal lead wouldn't take long to be restored with marauding "attacking centre back" fyson adding his own neat reverse to the goal tally. Shortly followed by a tap in for baker second of the afternoon. Half time 4-1

The second half started in the same vein with Sutton adding 2 quicks goals. Baker the first with a volley bottom corner. The second being fysons second from a broken-down short corner working along the baseline and squeezing it in near post. Brad Sargeant would be next soon after from a well taken short corner routine. The men in green weren't finished at 7, baker would add 2 more fine finishes to take his tally to 5 and long Sutton's to 9. Minor lapses in defence in the dying stages allowed south to score 2 further consolations goals.
