Home vs Highfield Junior Colts Saturday 17th October (L 1-3)

Mid-week international duty disrupted the game plan with a growing list of injuries to the team. Isaac still out with a broken wrist (get better soon) and Guy having a bout of 'man' flu, meant a little re-arranging in the team.

However Cumnor played well at the start of the game, and a piece of close interplay between Louie and Charlie, allowed Charlie to find the net, and Cumnor take a deserved lead, after about 10 minutes. After that the Highfield seemed to wake up, and started to create chances, while Cumnor dropped deeper and deeper. Still at half time, the team went off leading 1-0, and all was looking okay.

The second half Cumnor continued to drop deeper, and eventually the pressure paid off and Highfield levelled the scores after about 7 minutes of the second half. Cumnor still played deep and were punished twice again before Cumnor rallied in the last five minutes to try and level the scores.

Some good performances, particularly from our new found star goalie Hugo, who made some important and crucial saves.

In the second match, Cumnor played like a team possessed and won 3-1. A fabulous display of passing, and hard work, with Joel stretching Highfield's second team down the right wing.
