Cumnor Win At Charlbury



The U7s played our first ever tournament on Sunday June 8th and finished the day unbeaten. On a sweltering morning, after a long drive through the rolling Oxfordshire countryside, 8 players took the field in a 4 match tournament. Playing six-a-side, each boy played 3 games and sat out 1. Our opponents, Charlbury and Chase, provided stern opposition but Cumnor controlled all four games (playing each team twice).

Final stats: played 4, won 4, scored 9, conceeded 0. Scores were: 2-0, 1-0, 2-0 & 4-0

So well done: Adam M, Ben C, Ben Mc, Fyn, James E, James S, Joe and Will. Highlights include: Adam M's midfield play and leadership, Ben C's superbly taken hat-trick, Ben Mc's non-stop running and bravery, Fyn's 4 breathtaking goals, James E's passing, clever movement and goalkeeping, James S' sturdy tackling and goalkeeping, Joe's super tough defending and Will's incisive passing and crossing.

Considering we haven't played together for over a month, this was a fantastic example of skill, teamwork and commitment. Our quick passing, strong running and excellent finishing was a joy to see.

Brilliant work, boys!
