Saturday 28th November Home to Wroxton Youth (W 3-1)

A great game and a great festive time was had by both sides.

Cumnor in the first half had the vast majority of pressure and a goal from Guy settled the nerves. After that a great cross in from Charlie put the Wroxton defence under pressure and lead to a goal, which the dubious goals panel awared to Charlie as the last Cumnor player to have kicked the ball. Hugo was hardly troubled in goal, and when he was he was more than a match for the shots.

In the second half Cumnor continued to dominate, and chances for Charlie, Louie and Guy came and went. However Wroxton to their credit, started to play more expansively, and forced a corner. Maybe the manager needs to do a little work on corners, or maybe the team need to just be a little bit more aware, but the ball was virtually in the net, before the Blues realised that the corner had been taken, and Wroxton drew back to 2-1.

After than it could have gone either way with Cumnor looking a little uncomfortable. But with gaps appearing at the back of Wroxton, there was always going to be chances for Louie, and he duely obliged to finish the game.

The second match was an enthralling encounter ending 2-2 with the largest ever penalty competition ending 7-5 to Cumnor.

Our thanks to Wroxton who were sporting and played the game in a manner which does them credit.
