March Town II 2
Huntingdon 3
HUNTINGDON moved to joint-top in the Cambridge East Premier Division with a narrow victory in a hard-fought match.
The visitors started brightly and Joan Griffiths gave them the lead within two minutes.
Sarah Chadband doubled the advantage just before half-time and seemed to have secured the win for hard-working Huntingdon.
However, a second-half fightback saw March pull back a goal before Kath Perkins made it 3-1 to the visitors. March replied again with a well-taken goal but the visitors survived the nervous final 10 minutes to seal the win. Teresa Jackson was player of the match for an excellent defensive performance.

DESPITE attacking from the start, Huntingdon fell short in this Cambs League Second Division fixture.

Emily Hill and Alice Edwards looked dangerous breaking from midfield and, after the interval, Huntingdon stemmed the tide, conceding just one more goal.
