Outwell went ahead after five minutes before, on the half hour, Watson levelled. On 65 minutes, Saunders’ header put Doddington ahead before a thunderstorm meant, with 20 minutes remaining, the players had to come off.

But the storm cleared and Doddington held on to leapfrog Outwell into second place in Cambs Senior B. They are six points behind leaders Barrington but have a game in hand.

Doddington manager Ashley Taylor said: “When the thunderstorm came we thought the game was going to be postponed but thankfully it cleared.

“We knew they would come at us in the last 20 minutes but we defended well and could have scored a couple on the counter.

“It was a really good game to watch and a very good win for us.”

Doddington travel to fifth place Orwell in the league on Saturday, while Outwell will look to bounce back against Ely City Reserves in the William Coad Intermediate Cup.
