No excuses BUT we only had 11 players, 3 fast players out, Matthew no teeth, Cam roaming round Scotland in a kilt and Wills hard at work.
The day started with the cancellation of the referee and Lee was duly appointed (press ganged) to step in.
The game started well enough with Tower Hill having 4 good chances converting one at 25mins. The other 3 were foiled by good goalkeeping, good defending or just plain misses. Cumnor had one good chance just after this from a free kick on the edge of their box, Harry narrowly kicked over the bar. HT 0-1
It has to be said that the defence;
with Mehmet playing well in goal, Grant playing a fantastic role helping out at centre back, Elliot taking great goal kicks, passes etc... Adam playing well on the right with George D following up on the left.
All played with great determination.
The midfield with Mason challenging and attacking, Gareth on the left with George M and Harry worked very hard. Louie and Flynn worked tirelesly up front.
Second half we challenged early on and after a break Flynn was fouled in the penalty area and taken down. Not only was he taken down he ended up being taken off and sat out for about 5 minutes.
Harry finished the penalty well 1-1 35 mins. Following this Tower Hill turned up the heat and we slowed as we were getting tired with no substitutes. goals at 40,48,58 sealed the win for Cumnor sorry Tower Hill.
Overall Tower Hill deserved the victory BUT we are very proud of the hard work the boys put in with the weakened team.
Mentions to Louie up front, Elliot playing strongly, Adam playing outfield well etc..etc... Grant fantastic BUT man of the match to Mehmet who played his 1st full game in goal magnificently, perhaps Mehmet could handle the ball a bit more rather than playing the ball on the ground. Its normal for a goalkeeper to use his hands a bit more or am I just being old fashioned! Man of the match this week sponsored by Bruce Grobellaar.
Thanks to the parents who helped out today particularly Lee who refereed well. It was not an easy game for anybody, also well lined by Ollie Thanks to all.
