Enstone Squeezed Out

A biting wind and a narrow pitch couldn't stop the boys delivering a polished performance. In parts, we were sublime... moving the ball quickly and cleverly but our tackling wasn't as strong as it could have been and quite a few passes went astray. But on the whole, we won both matches (5-1 and 4-2)and we're going well into the last few weeks of the season.

Henry M
Made some important saves stretching his long frame out to parry the ball away. Played up front in the second half of the second game, scored a lovely goal and should have had a penalty... and would have if the ref had been wearing his proper glasses.

James S
Another assured performance at the back and almost scored with a lovely long range effort. Starting to work well with Rory.

Rory
Rock solid and dependable as ever. Never looks hurried or uncomfortable. Also took advantage of his midfield role in the second game by scoring a nice goal.

Ben
Kept our shape, snapped away, turned a training ground corner move into a goal and was always in the thick of it.

Adam
Full of drive and determination as he ran his heart out up and down the right hand side. Unlucky not to score but was a constant threat.

Will
Some lovely touches and set up 7 of Cumnor's 9 goals. Claimed to have scored from a corner in the second match but the "blind idiot referee" (his Dad) missed it.

Fyn
The Fox in The Box was at his pouncing best scoring 3 second-half goals in the first match. Also produced a lovely dummy in a sweeping first half move. Defended well in the second match.

James E
The Boy With The Golden Boots strikes again. Two lovely goals (one in each match) and showed again why he's dangerous off the bench. Unlucky to concede a dubious goal from a corner (that idiot ref again!)

Toby
Full of fight and fury, Toby made it uncomfortable for the Enstone back line.

Matt
Strong and brave in midfield, responded well to wearing the captain's armband and scored a beauty from the edge of the box.

Player of the Week: special mentions for Fyn, Will and Ben but for his leadership - and stunning goal - Matt.
