Away vs Moreton (L 0-1)

A terrific performance by the Blues as they continue to take some very rapid strides forward.

Playing against a team, well placed in the top half of the league, Cumnor decided not to let league positions worry them too much. On a small pitch, the two sides battled to and fro in the middlefield with Cumnor giving as good as they got. Breaks came and went for both sides, until Moreton had a punt from the edge of the area which just evaded Joel's fingertips.

Five minutes later Charlie broke free on the wing, and ran the ball to the bye line. Faced with a wall of Moreton defenders, he pulled it back to Nathan L on the edge of the box. Nathan's shot just evaded the fingertips of the Moreton goalie, and Cumnor were back level, or so everyone except one person thought. As the referee marched back to the centrespot, and Cumnor lined up for the kickoff, the Moreton linesman signalled offside for another Cumnor player "interfering with play".

Cumnor continued to battle valiantly, and with chances on both sides the game could have swung either way.

However at the end the Blues just failed. However it is refreshing to be able to argue that "we were robbed".

Great performances by many. Man of the match to Nathan L for some great tackling in the first half, and great goalkeeping in the second.
