Dave Bennett goal secures Cambridge Nomads victory over Cambridge South in East Men's Hockey League

Press coverage in Cambridge Independent....

Dave Bennett scored the only goal of the game as Cambridge Nomads defeated Cambridge South in East Men’s League, Division One.

South made the stronger start and dominated the first 15 minutes, forcing Nomads to soak up considerable pressure.

As the breakthrough did not materialise, Nomads grew in confidence to force a series of well-defended short corners.

The goal arrived midway through the second half as a well-worked dummied short corner saw Bennett deflect Sam Walker-Farrant’s cross from the left past South man-of-the-match Chris Watson.

South could not break down the home defence, with Harry Lewis’ strike disallowed for an earlier infringement.
