Cambridge City 1 held off a fierce Bearsted 2 comeback to win 23-20 at The Hive Leisure Centre, banking a vital three points in a tightly packed South East Regional League. The visitors left empty-handed again, but their 20-korf showing proved they can trouble teams above them despite sitting in the relegation zone.
The Match
On Sunday 11 October 2026, Cambridge City 1 made their home advantage count in a contest that never fully settled. The hosts looked the more composed side for long spells, moving the ball with purpose and repeatedly finding ways to convert pressure into korfs, but Bearsted 2 kept dragging the game back into a one-or-two-score fight.
Bearsted’s scoring load was shared, led by Andrew Martinez with 5 goals (4 open play, 1 pen). He had strong support from Ruth Austin (4) and David Wiseman (4), with Mio Martinez adding 3 to keep the visitors within striking distance. Further korfs from Alexander Guerin-Hassett (2), plus singles for Michelle Lambourne (1) and Rachel Kennard (1), underlined how broadly Bearsted spread their threat.
In the end, the three-korf margin told the story: Cambridge did enough to stay just out of reach, while Bearsted were left to rue the moments where momentum didn’t translate into a decisive swing. For City, it’s a confidence-boosting home win that stabilises a mixed early-season record; for the away side, a second straight defeat that still came with clear attacking positives.
What It Means
- Cambridge City 1 stay 4th with 3 points from 3 games (GD -2), moving to a WLD recent run and remaining 3 points off promotion and 3 points behind the leaders.
- The home side are also 3 points clear of relegation and have a game in hand on the team above, giving them a clear route to climb if they can turn consistency into results.
- Bearsted 2 remain 7th with 0 points from 2 games (GD -10) and are IN RELEGATION ZONE; their form slips to LL, and they are now 1 point from safety.
- At the top, the win keeps Cambridge’s season alive in a table where Bearsted 1 lead on 6 points; with City still within three points of the front, the chasing pack can’t afford many more dropped home fixtures.
