09.04 Chesterton v Cumnor Minors (Loss 1-5)

Apologies for the late post I have thought long and hard before putting this up for various reasons which I will list but put no comments up.

10 Players of Chesterton v 11 Players of Cumnor - delayed start
Constant challenging of the young female referee
Booking incident after Chesterton scored and the subsequent injury to Cameron
Various challenges

If I had seen the incident with Cameron I would have discussed with both Mark and Owen if it was worth continuing the game.

Now the football, we started well and kept them under pressure in the 1st half and we had several chances but unfortunately the ball would not go in. Towards the end of the half we failed to clear were put under pressure and they scored. Then late on Cookie was about to challenge for the ball and it spinned off his foot for a goal at the wrong end! HT 2-0

In the second half we worked well but we could not keep up with their speed and pressure and let in a further 3 goals. We did have chances at the other end but we were not clinical. Finally in the dying moments Flynn popped up to make it FT 5-1

Possibly a flattering result to the opposition who on balance were definitely better. However, we need to concentrate on the job in hand and play football. It was a hard game but as we get older some teams will grind results out.

Mentions to various players, Mehmet good in goal, Cookie did not do anything wrong and played well BUT next time must score at the right end on his debut. Louie battled in an unfamiliar midfield position and for his application and resolve deserves the Man of the Match. Well done to all!
