12th September Home to Chipping Norton (L 1-3)

Cumnor started off the game looking lively and showing off their new passing skills. For the first 10 minutes the Blues dominated the game, and deservedly took a 1-0 lead with Lewis Watts placing the ball into the net for his first of the season.

However Chipping showed a lot of resilience and soon were putting the pressure back on Cumnor. Charlie S in goal made some important saves, but just before half time the Swifts pulled one back.

In the second half Cumnor looked tired, and as the game opened up it was the Chipping Norton midfield who were finding space, taking two goals in the first 10 minutes of the second half. After that Cumnor came back with shots against the post and crossbar, but were unable to find the net.

Great debut performances for: Daniel and Ben, and some impressive tackling and hard work by Isaac and Lewis. Isaac just pinching man of the match from under Lewis's nose.

With the return match next week, Cumnor will not have to wait long for revenge.
