Cup Final Here We Come

On a beautiful spring day, on a relatively flat pitch, Cumnor showed the dedication and desire required to beat an excellent Kidlington side and make our first ever cup final. Let's repeat that line, our first ever CUP FINAL!

It was close, there were moments when we thought we'd come undone - especially when 2 - 1 up and every single outfield player deciding to charge up the pitch - but we held our nerve and took our chances. Nathan took his goal brilliantly, he had so much to do off the back of Adam's great pass. But he kept his head and gave us the lead. As for the Kidlington goal, nobody could have saved that - not even Harry who made one of the best saves of the season to keep us in the game. The second Cumnor goal was down to some smart work by Ben feeding the elusive Harry S who kept his nerve and bagged the winner.

Well done boys, well done indeed. The defence of Rory, Michael and Fyn looked rock solid. Joseph, Adam and Tom worked tirelessly. Ben and Will were everywhere (often at the same time!) and Finlay, Doddie and Harry did exactly what was asked of them. As did Toby and Charlie. And remember, we did this without Kyle who has been integral to how we want to play. Nathan too, just heroic up there on his own, running til he couldn't run anymore.

Now we've reached the final, let's win it. Let's show Ducklington exactly what Cumnor Minors U14s are all about.

Player of the Week: all of them

Cup Run Continues

A sublime display against a committed Goring side. Our return to The Closes saw Cumnor play a quick-passing, fluid game with four lovely goals including two smart finishes from Nathan and a brace of lovely strikes from Adam and Doddie. It was great to see everyone contributing so let's keep the momentum up and finish the season with a flourish.

Player of the Week: shared between Doddie and Finlay who both showed vision and creativity.

Harwell Heartache

We lost. Badly. Enough said.
