The Jockeys maintained their place at the top of the Ridgeons Division One table thanks to two second half goals after the match stood all-square at half time.

Lee Salmons put Newmarket in front only for the hosts to equalise through Ben Deacon just before the break.

But a goal from Dave Grainger and a Jamie Thurlbourne penalty in the second half secured all three points for Newmarket.


Newmarket Town 2, Waterbeach 1 - Cambs Invitation Cup Preliminary Round

NEWMARKET finally saw off the challenge of a determined Kershaw Premier Division side when Ricky Cornish found the net with a late header.

Newmarket went ahead after 20 minutes through Dave Grainger who has hit a rich vein of scoring form this season.

But Waterbeach fought back well and equalised with a well-struck effort from Paul Izzard.

When the game seemed certain to go into extra time, defender Cornish popped up to take his side into the next round.
