4th Jan 2014 Mens 3rd - Away vs City of Peterborough Vets

After a big win against Spalding the previous week Sutton travelled to play Wisbech 4ths with optimism and high expectations.

Sutton got off to their normal sluggish start and were kept penned into their own half for the first fifteen minutes. Gradually they began to pass and play with David Maris in midfield on inspirational form against his original club. Lovegrove slammed in a timely goal just before half time to give Sutton the lead.

Wisbech made positional changes in the second half that reinvigorated their attack and, despite good marking from the Sutton defence, scored two goals from short corners early in the second half.

Sutton pushed forward in attack but even when their defence was breached the Wisbech keeper was in no mood to be beaten, making a string of impressive saves. Wisbech took full advantage of Suttons commitment forward to score two more breakout goals.

Jack Smith put the ball in the net as consolation, but the home team deserved the points in this enjoyable local derby. Final Score 4-2.
