With Elvis back from his concerts in Liverpool we played a new formation that paid dividends with Grant being pushed further forward, playing Matthew at the back.
The strong midfield featuring Grant in the centre, Gareth on the left and an under the weather Cam on the right. Up front the evergreen Flynn with Harry behind. The rejuvinated defence that had Mehmet on the left, Mason on the right with Elliott and an injured Matthew at the back (who had an excellent performance). Shooting boots playing a defensive midfield/advanced defense. In between the sticks the mighty Adam. Louie came on from the bench with plenty of skill. (Old man was recovering and Wills not attending after being knocked out in rugby at school). It started tightly over the first half...........but over the half we got stronger.
4 mins - Own goal that shooting boots swears blind he scored (in his dreams).
16 mins - Gareth scored a cracking shot in a crowded area
23 mins - Flynn again !
HT3-0
40 mins - Harry ,43 mins - Louie
At 5-0 we probably were a bit over confident and the heavy Cumnor pitch was starting to take its toll.
Two defensive mistakes, we failed to clear and the a mix up with defender and goal keeper with goals at 52 and 56 we looked under pressure and out of shape But a goal at 59min by Harry sealed the game.
FT 6-2
This was a very good performance and we missed a few but on another day Charlbury would have scored a few as well. Early on in the 2nd half they looked quite sharp and they contributed to a good game of football although they probably would not see it quite like that. A pleasure to see a team like this and may we play them lots (if they let us win).
Man of the match was the collective team BUT one has to get it and Gareth for his goal, his determination and his effort Well Done the team can be proud of you.
Our thanks to Tetley tea for sponsoring the man of the match, Lynne sold far more tea than is usual this week Mainly due to to the antics of Mehmets dad Iham, with a cup of tea in one hand he was attempting to kick a ball out from within the net, only to catch his dainty toes within the webbing. Next he was seen doing an unusual example of Strictly Come Dancing (Anne Widecombe style), and amazingly he managed not to spill a drop of tea on the grass at the expense of his head, body, arms in fact everything!
Sorry Iham! (shot as he approached the tea shop for another refill)Thank you, Thank you etc... to the parents for the amazing help we had today Thank you!!!!!!!!!! It made this week an absolute pleasure and gave us time with the boys. Shame the Oxford match was not as good.
