Eynsham Too Strong For Valiant Cumnor

Well it had to happen eventually and no bad thing it happened towards the end of the season but Cumnor were beaten in both matches. Both Cumnor teams battled hard but found the strength and touch of certain Eynsham players difficult to deal with. Despite losing 2-1 and 6-0, particular praise must go to Ben C and Joe for their brave defending, Ben Mc for man-marking the excellent Cumnor No.9 and Rory for a very gutsy and determined display both in goal and in midfield. James Earl scored a nicely taken goal and made a brilliant goal-line clearance and James S saved a penalty! Ollie played some nice balls, Adam M showed his leadership qualities and Will, Fyn and Binky all went close. Adam W made some great tackles and Laurie was his usual gung-ho self. Fantastic.

Highlight of the day however, was seeing Henry (and his crutches) on the touchline.

Well done everyone... Eynsham have improved greatly since we last played them and today was very much a blip in what's been a brilliant debut season.

Player of the Week: Rory for his energy and drive.

No training next week.
