Cumnor Back On Top

Thursday night football on a beautiful Spring evening - with the threat of a violent rainstorm - suits us. As does the smooth grass of Appleton. Another accomplished performance saw us beat Radley 4-1. The result was perhaps a little closer than the scoreline suggests, especially after Radley scored, but there was to be no 3 goal collapse in the final minutes.

As a team we passed the ball well and tried to work openings down the wings with Jack and Will looking for the ever busy Nathan. Defensively we were strong with Rory and Fyn playing together at centre-half for the first time, ably supported by Michael, Toby, Harry and Josh. Henry continued his good form from Didcot and added an excellent array of goal kicks to his armoury. We won the game in midfield with Ben, Joseph and Adam contesting every ball and James adding a strong defensive presence in the the second-half.

The goals came from Nathan in the first-half, an own goal from a Will cross, a lovely move and finish by Ben and Adam, directly from a corner.

With two games to play we are well in the mix to finish higher than we dared imagine last September.

Player of the Week: another excellent performance from the ultra reliable Joseph.
