14.12 Cumnor Minors v Oxford Blackbirds ( Loss 4-5)

Another extremely close game with again a one goal deficit.

A great controlled 1st half we dominated the game and limited the Blackbird attacks

12 Mins - Harry hit post
15 Mins - Cookie lovely goal from the right side accross the keeper 1-0
18 Mins - Flynn another goal 2-0

We were cruising and you could see the worry and concern in the oppositions, team, parents and coaches. Then we started to tire and not get into the challenges as quickly, we hoped that at half time we could change the team around a bit, BUT we conceded to speed and strength and at 27 Mins it was 2-1 and this was a psychological blow for us and lift for Blackbirds coming in at half time.

After an array of substitutions we came out of the blocks slowly and this did not give us the expected lift of fresh legs we needed. We conceded 3 goals in quick succession to long balls over the top to their good centre forward. Who with strength and pace caused havoc in our defense.
49, 51 and 55 Mins

Harry at 57 mins took an excellent free kick and we were 3-4 down and then after pushing the team up Jamie scored a good header after Harry had hit the cross bar. 4-4.

At 60 minutes after another ball over the top and we conceded again 4-5 and went on all out attack to get an equaliser to no avail.

It was a disapointing result as we were the better team, Hats off to Blackbirds they could not play through us so just kept kicking the ball over the top at every opportunity not pretty but it was effective with their centre forward.

Man of the match was new boy Dominic together with Jamie more diamonds added to our team!


The Diamonds on Taylor! Not Dom or Jamie!
