Both these clubs play in the Cambridgeshire County League, the hosts in Division 2B, with Benwick one level lower, in 3B. Wimblington took an early lead and were on top for large periods of the match, even when they were reduced to ten men when one of their players was ‘sin binned’ for 10 minutes during the first half, this being the first time I have been at a match where the sin bin rule is in operation.

The goal of the night came in the last minute, when a 25 yarder was curled past the visitors ‘keeper with the outside of the boot by home player Dale Richardson. The only disappointment on the night was that the match was played on the second pitch, which is the far side of the cricket square from the clubhouse.
