A late goal from Jabo Ibehre saw the U's come through their first pre-season fixture against St Neots Town with a 0-1 win.
A trademark Piero Mingoia delivery saw George Maris too head wide of the mark.
However Ibehre, who had hit the post earlier in the half, was in the right place at the right time to side foot past the St Neots keeper, who failed to handle a powerful drive at goal from Brad Halliday in the 90th minute.
