02-03-14 Cup qtr final OX BLACKBIRDS 7 v CUMNOR MINORS 1
The first game for a month and up against a very big and very competitive Blackbirds team this was going to be a test of character for the Cumnor boys.
Playing against the wind in the first half Cumnor held on well and gave as good as they got restricting Blackbirds to long range efforts of which ADAM was more than comfortable with, but the Blackbirds did get the breakthrough on 17 minutes and soon after doubled their lead and then went three up after 25 minutes,BUT Cumnor did pull a goal back when JAMIE forced himself into the area and fired into the roof of the net from a tight angle,HT 3-1.
Cumnor had the wind behind them in the second half but couldn't really take advantage and were restricted to two long range efforts by HARRY and DOM in the whole half while the Blackbirds kept the pressure on at the other end and added to their tally by scoring further goals in the 40th,48th,65th and 68th minutes of the game to make the final score 7-1........... and end Cumnors cup dreams!!!!!
The boys put in 100% effort against a team who will probably go on to the final of the cup and end up in the A league next season, lets try keep positive.
Man of the Match:- JOHN for solid game in the heart of the defence.
Special Mention to ADAM if it wasn't for some super saves the result could have been a lot worse.
THE CUP DREAM IS SHATTERED!!!!!
