Cumnor were looking for revenge after a close match last week.
In the first half, Cumnor took an early lead. Louie putting the ball on a sixpence or rather Charlie's head, before it bounced off a stunned Charlie onto his chest and into the goal. Louie continued to put in some great corners and Cumnor were looking comfortable before Chipping broke free and levelled the score. With a few minutes in the first half, Cumnor were having the greater pressure and the ball bobbled loose for Charlie to get his second, and Cumnor went into half time leading 2-1.
With a few changes at half time, Cumnor continued to have the greater possession, and were comfortably seeing out the match, when Chipping put together a great move to level the scores. With 5 minutes to go, it could have been either side's game, but Chipping pressed forward, leaving Louie to break through and finish for a well deserved victory. Great praise must to to the team for never letting their heads go down, and Guy for covering vast amounts of space. Again newcomers Ben and Daniel showed great promise.
In the second game, Cumnor had a few difficulties in the first half, deciding to largely dispense with defenders and went 3-0 down. However in the second half they came back strongly with an outstanding performance by Daniel, who tackled fiercely and was continually looking to pass the ball around. For this performance and his performance in the first game, Daniel won player of the week. Well done, Daniel.
