Tough Start to the New Year

With the mid-winter break finally over, the U8s were itching to get out on the field and face a fired-up Carterton.

Match One
Despite missing some key players, Cumnor put in a spirited display and were unlucky to let in 4 answered goals. Ed made a series of cracking saves in goal and Fyn and James E went close on several occasions. There was some great link play between Adam M and Ben Mc and Toby made a number of heroic tackles. Rory was his usual commanding self at the back but had his work cut out to contain an on-form Carterton.

Match Two
A much better team performance with Henry M barking orders from between the sticks, Joe and Adam W rottweiler like at the back and excellent midfield/forward play between James S, Laurie, Binky and a lively Henry S. Cumnor were desperately unlucky to concede a last minute equalizer and deserved the win. Congratulations to James S and birthday boy Laurie who both bagged their debut goals. Well done.

Player of the Week: For taking charge and non-stop bravery Henry M
