A little harsh perhaps but difficult to gauge how good our opening performance of the season was with the opposition so visibly struggling. Then again, a team can only play what's in front of them. Cumber kept the ball on the floor and tackled beautifully, working nice tight patterns and playing confidently from the back. Kyle and Harry gave us an immediate attacking outlet from full back whilst Will and Rory and centre-back pressed the midfield of Joseph and Alex high up the pitch.
In pre-season our finishing had been woeful but all four goals from Nathan, Adam, Ben and Will showed a crispness of technique and an assuredness in front of goal. Bad luck to Abingdon, they battled manfully and we, as a coaching team, did all we could to ensure the second-half would get under way. It did, for all of 10 minutes before another Abingdon injury forced the ref's hand and he called the abandonment. Cumber get the win, 4-0.
