Cumnor Off The Hook

A hardy band of Cumnor warriors set off across many international time zones and headed north for a meeting with Hook Norton. Illness and half-term hi-jinx depleted the squad but we still managed to negotiate the slope and thwart the valiant hosts.

In the first match, Ollie had a cracker in goal and pulled off a series of shot-stoppers. We didn't have too many chances - and missed Adam's shoot on sight policy - but took the lead through an own goal and then extended it to two when Binky finished nicely. In the second-half, Hook Norton peppered the goal with shots but Ollie was alert enough to keep a clean sheet.

In the second match, Will played a blinder in goal using every part of his body to protect his line. Henry S and James E brought real vision to the pitch, Matt crunched his way from box to box and James S showed some nice little touches. But the star player was Ollie who dragged Cumnor level with a great shot which meant we could hit the road undefeated.

Player of the Week: Hook Norton didn't score with Joe on the field, Fyn troubled their defence, Ben kept it smart and simple, Will showed we might have another goalie in the making but the award went to Ollie for his safe hands, quick eye and mighty right foot.
