Saturday 13th November Away to Highfield Juniors L 0-15

Another difficult day with only 10 players, and going down to 9 for last 10 minutes of the first half.

For the first 20 minutes Cumnor played well. The first goal was a bit lucky as a high clearance sailed over Hugo's head, but the Blues kept it together. Trailing by two goals, Cumnor created a chance in the Highfield box, and Charlie looked certain to score. But just as he was about to score a clumsy tackle robbed him of the ball. It might have been a penalty, it might not have been. But it was the turning point in the game.

Soon after we were down to 9 men, and went in trailing at half time 5-0.

There were some valiant performances by Kier and Lewis in the second half. Kier is making a strong case to be the Andy Carroll of the Blues. But in the last 10 minutes, I think we conceded 6 goals, which made the scoreline look very miserable.
