Saturday 30th January Away vs Moreton (L 1-2)

Having travelled 50 minutes to get to Moreton a little bit of frost wasn't going to get in our way, and both teams were eager to play even though it was still a little bit hard.

For the neutral spectator, it was an absorbing match. Moreton, having started the season poorly, have had a run of good results recently, and their position in the table belied their ability.

Cumnor started off brightly considering we hadn't played a league match since November, but it was Moreton who snatched an early goal with the Cumnor defences being caught square. After that Cumnor had a good spell of possession culminating with a good goal as Charlie cut in from the wing and running with the ball almost into the arms of the keeper, before picking out Joel for Joel to score his first goal in a league match.

In the second half, our usual half time switches, upset the balance of the team for about 10 minutes and Moreton had the better possession. But as the half wore on, it was Cumnor who had chances come and ago, with both Charlie and Guy having opportunities and Lewis hitting the cross bar.

Unfortunatley with 1 minute to go, Moreton broke free and after some gallant challenges and an almost save from Isaac the ball ended up in the back of the net.

Man of the match went to Joel for his first league goal, although Daniel was almost mentioned in dispatches for this first goal in the friendly match.
