Your player of the match

CU: Euan Barker – solid at centre back and noticeable difference when he subbed off.

SFC: Reece Jones – yet another outstanding display at left back, and James Gearing – keeper who’s first half saves kept us in the game when Caversham were on top

Most ‘Sunday League’ moment of the day?

CU: Our keeper (Tom Higginson) smashing a clearance at our centre back (Seb Young), which cannoned across the box, leaving the Southbank striker to tap the ball into the empty net.
