Cumnor Retain Radley Title

Cumnor ended the season on a high by winning the Radley tounament for a second time.

In the longest tournament ever, we got there at 9am and didn't finish until 6pm, it rained constantly through the day.

Cumnor fielded 7 of the 8 same players who won the tournament last season, and were helped out by Harry's school friend Grant. We also fielded a strong second team.

In the group stages the "A" team were looking down and out, when after 5 of their seven group games they had drawn 2 and lost 3, even though they had not struggled and had the better chances in all their matches. But a late rally, winning both their last matches, meant they squeezed into the knock-out stages of the cup on a head to head results tie break.

Meanwhile the "B" were storming ahead in their group. Eventually winning 4, drawing two and losing two, and coming a comfortable 3rd out of nine teams, and also qualifying for the knock-out stages. Congratulations to Louie for getting 4 goals, to Hugo for a great save, Charlie T for being everywhere, Joseph for being a brilliant player, Guy and Lewis for their middlefield work, and Matthew for some great trickery on the ball. In the quarter finals, the "B" team played a close match against Barton Rovers which could have gone either way, but eventually losing 2-0. It was a great effort from everyone.

The "A" breezed through the knockout stage never looking like losing a match, and winning the three matchs, 2-0, 2-0, 1-0. Well done Cumnor.
