3 points? A little bit of luck? A penalty!
What cannot be faulted is the performance of the boys. Since we last lost to Ducklington we've re-booted our set up, our tactics and our attitude. The boys have been tremendous, they've taken on board our instruction and delivered where it matters... on the pitch. On Saturday, the football gods were against us because that's the only way to explain what happened. 3-1 was impossibly harsh. On a small pitch, sticky with mud, it wasn't pretty but it was compelling. Here's the view from the sideleines:
Henry: it takes a brave boy to go in goal... and Henry's been a lion this season
James S: called in last minute to replace injured Joe and was a revelation... great attitude too
Josh: has been unshackled in the last few weeks, defends with confidence and dangerous going forward
Will: only his 3rd game at the back... incredible
Rory: the rock... always on top form
Matt: runs and runs and runs... he never gives up and frightens the opposition out wide
Toby: loving the creative freedom in the middle
Ed: made the Duck no.5 cry... inspired in the fight
Adam: apparently, he's injured. Doesn't play like it
Ben: every tackle, every pass counts
Fyn: audacious flick, lovely finish... Fyn is purring once more
James E: came on, got stuck in and did his bit for the team
That's just our view. The Ducklington coaches, parents and referee all thought Cumnor were hard done by. We were, but there are so many positives now to take into the Middleton Cheney game next Saturday. Come on boys, this time is ours!
Player of the Week: James S for filling in at right back and playing so well
