Away vs St Edmunds 29th November 2008 W4-3

Another close game with St Edmunds on a cold day.

In the first game, Cumnor played well dominating the possession but gave away a soft goal in the first half. After that it looked good for Cumnor when Matthew and William teamed up to score a well earned goal. With 1-1 looking a fair and likely result, Cumnor were unlucky to concede another soft goal which gave St Edmunds the edge. Man of the match to William for his goal and endless running.

In the second game Cumnor knew they had to chase the game, and they took their chances in the first half to bring the match back into Cumnor's favour. After that Cumnor dominated the game for a while and in the second half added a third goal. At this point it looked like a formality but St Edmunds kept their heads and played spiritedly and eventually were rewarded with a goal. This gave Cumnor an uncomfortable final five minutes to play, which they negotiated with only the odd nasty moment for the coaches and parents alike. Well played to Isaac who was man of the match for his sterling work in defence.

In the third game, Cumnor again looked good going forward and with William and Tom at the back took a 2-0 lead in at half time. Well done to Lewis for his first goal in Cumnor colours, and to Louie for another to add to his tally. In the end Cumnor won the match 2-1.
