Despite having rained for most of the day and a light drizzle falling for the majority of the match, the pitch here was perfect. Newly promoted Duxford opened and finished the night’s scoring, but in between, it was Thaxted that held the upper hand and they should have scored more than the five goals they did manage.

The Duxford ‘keeper twice handled the ball outside his 18 yard box, but each time it was punished with just a free kick and not even a yellow card. Both teams also had a player sin binned, in separate incidents, and a Thaxted player who was booked late on thought he had been sin binned as well, but it became apparent it was a ‘proper’ yellow card, which resulted in him sprinting back onto the pitch when he realised, much to the astonishment of his Manager!
