Two tough games with two different outcomes. In the first match, a strong Cumnor team had to dig in to win, securing a 2-1 victory after a tense last few minutes. Brackley played extremely well but didn't quite have enough bite to get past the Cumnor braves. Will and Adam worked tirelessly down the flanks, with both going close to scoring. Ben held the midfield and endured a tough physical battle with the Brackley number 8. Rory and Toby stayed organized and strong and Magic Muller in goal made three terrific saves. But El Fyn-io up front looked sharpest of all pouncing on one half chance to score and then producing a moment of trickery in the box to seal the 2-1 win.
In the second match, Brackley practically fielded the same side and were determined to leave The Closes with something. Cumnor again showed tremendous determination and grit with Joe grunting and growling away, Matt having his own personal war with the number 6, James S and Henry making mazy runs and James E showing more touches of class. With Binky beating out the shots it was left to Matt to score an early equalizer with a crisp finish. Unfortunately, Brackley stretched away in the second half despite some big performances from our boys... boys like Laurie who seems to grow in strength and character with each match.
Well done to both teams.
Player of the Week: special mentions to Muller and Fyn but the glory goes to the every gutsy Laurie.
