Bedfordshire University normally play their first team fixtures at Alexander Sports Centre, where I saw them play earlier this season, but this was one of two matches that they are scheduled to play at the university campus. The only problem was likely to be from snow or frost, but the white stuff had disappeared not far north of Luton and as it was a sunny 4 degrees, there was no problem with the pitch being frozen.

When Cambridge took an early lead, when a free kick was volleyed in from 10 yards, it looked like we could be in for a few goals, but that was it. Bedfordshire only had one weapon, a long throw in from their No.5, but despite delivering the ball into the 6 yard box, no matter how far he was throwing the ball in from, they couldn’t convert anything, whilst Cambridge settled for doing just enough to hold onto the win and move just a point behind East Anglia 2nds at the top of the league table.
