Colchester
10 Cambridge 6
9th
June 2009 Eastern League
Colchester
took to the water against National league side Cambridge in the
knowledge that a vast improvement would be needed if they were to
remain competitive in this league. Colchester welcomed back the
newly married Simon Lecomber into the side, his presence was immediately
noted as quick passing found him in space twice early on. Rasping
shots gave the Cambridge ‘keeper no chance and Colchester
found themselves 2 goals up in the first two minutes. Cambridge
then had a man sent out for a foul and Colchester punished them
when Lecomber again found the back of the net. Success in an area
that had been so disappointing in the previous week. At this time
it looked as though Colchester would run away with proceedings.
But Cambridge are a strong side and fought back to score 2 goals
before Lecomber added another at the end of the first quarter.
The
second quarter was a scrappy affair as Cambridge fought back. There
were numerous minor fouls and a fair amount of 30 second exclusions
for major fouls; however neither side could take advantage of this.
Eventually Cambridge scored past Colchester ‘keeper Jimmy
Lang and quickly followed with another, to draw the scores level.
Colchester finally took advantage of a man up situation when Martin
Vinter rifled a shot into the top corner to give Colchester a slender
lead.
Shooting
into the shallow end clearly suited Colchester and Lecomber as he
again found the net twice to re-establish Colchester’s lead,
but again Cambridge fought back. Colchester introduced Ollie Tomlinson
to try and inject some pace into the team and impress older brother
James, who was watching from the sidelines with a very nasty neck
injury. But this could not prevent Cambridge adding 2 goals in the
third quarter.
The
final quarter began with Cambridge just one goal down at 7-6 and
Colchester were attacking into their less favoured deep end. As
the attackers tired it was defenders Vinter and David Nicholson
who rose to the occasion with 2 very well worked goals. Lecomber
also scored to take his personal tally to 7 on the night. This put
the game to rest as Colchester came out 10-6 winners and put them
on good form for their annual trip to Holland to take part in the
international Borculo tournament at the weekend.
