Bank holiday Monday at the shabby Abbey
On Monday afternoon me, Sean and Matt headed for the Abbey for Cambridge United's game against Eastbourne Borough. Cambridge needed to start scoring and to start winning games and despite having lost on the Saturday previously Eastbourne Borough had started strongly.
In the game in what might be one of the last sunny days of the year Cambridge United got off to a fine start with James Jennings ( who was allowed to play after an appeal to a ban) crossing the ball from a corner to Josh Coulson who headed in at the far post. After this Eastbourne looked good on the counter attack, but Cambridge should have been 3 or 4 up at the break. However, they had to settle for only 2 before the break thanks to a thunderous free kick struck by James Jennings, Eastbourne must have wished that Cambridge hadn't appealed for his sending off at Altrincham.
The second half was more of the same with Cambridge throwing men forward and always looking dangerous and Eastbourne posing a threat particularly from the right where Ross Treleaven caused problems with his crosses and long throws.
However, Cambridge didn't extend their lead further and the game finished 2-0. There should have been more and against other teams Cambridge will need to be sharper. They also picke up a couple of injuries that will hopefully not impede their progress too much.
