East League Division One

Cambridge City III 6 St Ives 3

CAMBRIDGE City thumped St Ives to increase their relegation worries. The visitors had good possession early on but failed to create chances and were soon punished as Cambridge opened the scoring. Ives hit back as a penalty corner was converted by Ben Scarrow to equalise for half time.

Alex Gutteridge put the visitors ahead early in the second half and Alex Cade looked to have won the game as he gave them a two goal cushion. However, Ives were hit by two penalty corners and conceded three goals on the counter as they looked to kill the game and the hosts finished comfortable winners.

City of Peterborough V 6 St Ives III 2

PETERBOROUGH ploughed past St Ives in their promotion push and were 2-0 ahead by the interval. Andy Moore scored after James Cahill forced an error to reduce the deficit but their hopes of getting back into the game were quickly dashed when the hosts scored three in quick succession to ensure their win. John Tudor fired home from a penalty corner but a sixth goal cemented the win and made sure that Ives now need two wins from their last three to avoid relegation.
