Cumnor went through to the semi-finals of the cup competition, beating Summertown Stars in a heart stopping 9-7 quarter final.
In the first match, Cumnor fielded a strong side, and looked to make this pay dividends by racing to a 3-0 lead in the first half. They added three more in the second half but a couple of sloppy goals made the scoreline a little more respectable. Max got a hat-trick, Harry two, and Charlie T one absolute pearler.
In the second match, Cumnor played with zeal, and after an amazing weaving run through the Summertown defence gave Louie his first of two goals, Cumnor were looking comfortable. At half time with the score 2-2 in the second match, it was looking all done and dusted. However Summertown had other thoughts, and with Cumnor's defence creaking, pulled two goals back. The last ten minutes were exciting, but in the end Cumnor rode out the storm to go into the semi-finals.
