City Return To Top Six Spot After Emphatic Victory

Cambridge City emphatically returned into the play-off places in the Evo-Stik League South East after a 7-1 demolition of lower mid-table Marlow at St Ives on Monday night.

It was a bad night all round for Marlow, who were late arriving due to traffic problems and were forced to field several young lads because of injuries.

And they found themselves 5-0 down by half-time!

Ben Seymour-Shove grabbed the opener after 10 minutes and Jordan Gent doubled City`s lead 5 minutes later.

Seymour-Shove`s second arrived 6 minutes after that and then Ryan Sharman got in on the act in the 39th minute.

Charlie Barton reduced the deficit on the half-hour mark, with James Hall making it a first half nap hand for City 3 minutes later.

It got even worse for the visitors just 5 minutes into the second half when City were awarded a penalty after Seymour-Shove was brought down by Alex Salmon.

Marlow defender Jay Welch received two yellow cards for dissent over the decision and was dismissed, after which Seymour-Shove duly completed his hat-trick from the resulting penalty after a lengthy delay.

Ryan Towner added City`s seventh goal in the 62nd minute after which they took their foot off the gas, fortunately for beleaguered Marlow.
