26.03 Cumnor Minors v Chesterton Juniors (Loss 0-4)

The first game where we failed to score!

A strong footballing Chesterton went one up in the 1st half after some good play BUT we handed them the goal after a couple of missed clearances. They had more chances than us but we had a chance go when we were one on one with their keeper HT 0-1

In the second half we pushed for a result and went to 3 at the back to try to get the players to win the ball in midfield and this worked to some extent BUT their players pressed our forwards and ultimately we lacked the strength up front and were out muscled by their defensive players. Better to go down trying for a win rather than wait for them to get another goal!

We changed the forwards around and we enjoyed some greater success narrowly missing the goal with a shot from Wills that was well saved and ultimately the follow up by Harry went over the bar. Phew!

Then in the dying embers of the game we conceded a third goal and a penalty on virtually the final whistle, possibly a generous scoreline for Chesterton FT 4-0.

Man of the match for a much improved performance was a deserved reward for Mehmet sponsored by the Queen (Not that queen but the drag queen who performs at the Dog and Duck).

Good luck for the next match a return game against Chesterton!

Congratulations to Mr Tilling on his birthday - Happy birthday from the boys
