Also when we arrived I had to polish my glasses to see over to the other side of the pitch to where the posts were. The longest pitch I have seen and I was not looking forward to walking to the half way line. Missing two of out best players it was always going to be difficult but the boys tried hard.........excuse......5th excuse........41st excuse...etc..etc....70th.............
Anyway the game, a few short words.... under pressure in the1st half we broke fast and after some lovely passing Cam finished off with an excellent finish Cumnor 1 up. Our 1st break our 1st goal all was rosy in the garden.
Then at about 20 mins it was 1-1, then ....1-2..at this time Louie suffered a bruising tackle on the edge of their box and we were awarded a free kick then..1-3.................1-5. HT Then ..... FT 1-7. Although at odd times we did put them under some pressure but mostly it was all Banbury.
Man of the Match sponsored this week by 'The friends of the Titanic' was Mason who came on after starting sub and immediately made an impact in midfield with his closing down and tackling. Well Done, Well deserved Gus Poyet would be proud of you.
Anyway, two Falklands war heros (parents of our boys) commented on how similar the conditions were in the South Atlantic with the wind blowing sideways across the pitch. The only comparison I could make was it was probably the same distance away!
