Cumnor Shine Away At Tower Hill Stars

A great way to end the year with two excellent 4-0 wins.

In freezing conditions, Cumnor put in two excellent team performances. Credit must go to the boys for staying focussed in difficult circumstances. It's not easy playing half a match, then going off, then coming back and playing another half. Well done too, for staying warm: something the coaches were in their new training tops!

We passed the ball nicely through midfield with James S putting in some lovely touches. Will scored two goals, Adam M 3 and both boys hit the woodwork on numerous occasions. Ollie and Ben Mc also got a goal each and Joe too, snuck one in at the end of the second match. James S will eventually open his account for the season and was unlucky not to get on the score sheet.

Binky and Henry M were outstanding in defence and Henry S made some excellent breaks. Toby tackled hard, so did James E and Ed. Rory was given the freedom to attack but still tracked back and covered well. Fyn was lively on the wing despite being unwell.

Fantastic effort to go into our mid=season break with two comprehensive wins. We're a great passing team with excellent defenders and great finishers. If we work hard on our calling, tackling and positional play there's no reason why we can't enjoy a successful 2009.

Player of the week: for his passing and shooting, James S.
