Matches between St Neots and Olney have historically been tight affairs, with the wins swinging one way and another through the years. However, this past Sunday told a different story on a cold, damp morning at St Neots.

It was the visitors who woke up earliest, adapting quickest to the testing conditions. Olney struck early to set a dominant tone for the rest of the day, their sharpness putting the hosts on the back foot immediately.

St Neots were hampered by a depleted squad. With injuries forcing necessary positional changes throughout the match, the home side often found themselves at sixes and sevens, unable to stem the tide against a confident Olney side who ran out deserved winners.

Despite the result, there were strong individual displays of character. Attlee and Mason were named the St Neots Men of the Match. Both players stood out for their enduring competitiveness throughout the entire contest, refusing to let their heads drop even with the game out of reach.

The team will now need to regroup and improve to ensure the away trip is worthwhile when they face Olney again on Mother's Day next year!
