Haddenham Rovers 2 Cottenham United 2

COTTENHAM had the edge over a lack lustre Haddenham in the first half. The introduction of top scorer Tyrell Barrett at half time injected some much needed pace into the Rovers attack and, despite conceding an early goal, Barrett quickly restored the balance and then he put Rovers ahead. With Matthew Morton battling in midfield and Jake Bartolozzi in defence it looked as though Rovers would win. Cottenham fought back and equalised for the draw.

On the stroke of half time Chatteris broke away and struck a third.

With 10 minutes left of the second half Harvey scored for Littleport to make it 2-3.
