Ducklington Disaster

The same old story, Cumnor were undone by a team who just wanted that ball more than we did. We started well and moved the ball nicely around the pitch but credit to Ducklington, they fought for the ball, linked nicely between midfield and attack and relied on their clever no.11 to sprint clear and finish well.

4-0 might seem harsh but we can't look for excuses. Cumnor upped the aggression and intensity in the final quarter and might have challenged for the win if we had started the game in that manner. But we didn't, and we lost. Again.

Player of the Week: Joe

Bardwell Blitz

Okay, 6-1 is a bit of a thrashing but the result hardly justified the performance. The boys played with passion and style and were exceptionally unlucky. Ben took his goal beautifully and put in a real skipper's performance. Rory was superb in midfield and Will and Ben linked beautifully. We were desperately unlucky to lose Adam to a knee injury but all the boys certainly improved on last week's disappointing effort against Banbury. One thing Bardwell did do extremely well was get their shots away: high, hard and handsome.

Player of the Week: big heart, lovely technique...Ben

Lesson: get those shots in early

The Heat Is On

Shocking performance against Banbury as we crashed to a 3-1 defeat. No fight, no thought, no desire... here's hoping there's a big improvement in attitude and aptitude very soon.
