Summertown Champions Again


A great day for Cumnor as all three teams all made it to the semi-finals. The truth is, any of the Cumnor teams could have won. We were unbeaten throughout the group stages conceding no more than about 4 goals thanks to the excellent defending and goalkeeping from Lucas, Matt and Harry. The Cumnor Whites v Cumnor Reds semi was a tense affair with both teams unable to create much. Inevitably it went to penalties and for once, Lucky Lay's team didn't win the day with Adam shooting agonisingly wild.

The other semi-final saw Cumnor Blues beat Marston Saints. The key to the win was exceptional closing down of Marston's key player. Cumnor created far more chances will Will coolly slotting the winner.

The final was incredibly close with the Blues eventually winning 2 - 0 after a lovely volley from Will from Ben's deft cross and a great bullish charge from Alex. So congratulations to Lucas, Rory, Charlie, Alex, Ben and Will and commiserations to Harry, Harry, Toby, Michael, Finlay and Tom.

Well done to all, let's go one better than we did last season and win Grove.
