Cumnor took advantage of that unique Appleton smell to get back to winning ways against a very tough Kidlington. Both teams played exceptionally well but the home team held their nerve - and their noses - to win 2-1. The first half was a typical physical scrap, every team seems to be bigger and have more bite than us. But Will was on hand to sweep home the first with his right foot after some nice forward pressure from Fyn, Ben and Nathan.
In the second-half, Adam went close with a long range free kick and Will had many, many more chances to score. But he didn't. It's good to see us creating chances again so things are looking rosy. James and Luke looked sharp up front and the back four, especially Jack, Rory and Toby were big and strong in the tackle. It was great seeing Fyn get on the scoresheet again to claim our second and we seemed to be heading for an easy win before juggernaut Joseph's erm, rather strong, challenge which allowed Kidlington back in with a free kick that the excellent Henry had no chance with.
A frenzied finish but a deserved win against a good team. 2-1 and we're back on top of the league.
Player of the Week: Fyn was busy all over the pitch but was just pipped by an energised Michael who dominated from right back and showed quality in attack and defence. His throws too, give us another attacking option. We could be the new Stoke!
