12-01-14                              1st rd Cup      BOTLEY   1   v   CUMNOR MINORS   4

The first game back after the Christmas break and Cumnor were starting with a away trip to Botley in the cup and their first step towards Wembley(sorry I mean Abingdon Town) in the cup, and were very much hoping to start the second half of the season in a winning way.

Cumnor starting the game with DOM and HARRY upfront and CAM dropping into the centre half position, Cumnor started the game well and a long ball from the midfield was pounced upon by DOM who put Cumnor one up and three minutes they doubled their lead when a shoot from HARRY fell nicely for DOM to poke in from close range, Botley were looking dangerous on the break and did pulled a goal back on 20 minutes, but Cumnor won a corner straight from the resulting kick off and JAMIE swung  in a lovely kick for DOM to head home his and Cumnors third, and just before the break WILSON had a shot from inside the area which GUY turned in and Cumnor had a 4-1 lead.HT.

In the second half changes to the team were made and with the pitch turning into a mud bath it was going to be a hard slog, and everybody did their bit with the defence and goalkeeping of birthday boy ADAM,and GEORGE D,GEORGE M,CAM and JOHN/DOM holding firm and all the midfielders of MEMHET,JAMIE,MATT,GUY/COOKIE ploughing there way through the mud to try and create chances for the front two of TOM and HARRY, the game finished with Cumnor victorious by 4 -1, covered in mud the boys trudged off the pitch happy to start the year with a win.                    WELL DONE TO THEM ALL.

A great way to start the New Year with a victory and here's hoping there are many more.

Man of the Match:- CAM for a great display in the centre of the defence.
                                                          WE CAN ALL DREAM!!!!!!!!!
