16-03-14                               ROTHERFIELD RATTLERS  2  v  CUMNOR MINORS  4

After Cumnors great win against Grove the week before they were looking to carry that form on and follow it up with another good performance at Rotherfield.


On this beautiful sunny morning both teams  were trying to get a grip on the game(which wasn't easy on a very hard and bouncy pitch) but it was Cumnor who got the first goal when a through ball from HARRY was latched onto by DOM to finish past the advancing keeper,Rotherfield were looking to catch Cumnor on the break with the ball over the top but both JOHN and CAM were keeping them at bay and on 15 minutes Cumnor got their second when yet again a through ball from HARRY was finished off by DOM and  it was 3 when DOM returned the favour to HARRY when his cross was hit in the corner of the net on the half volley from the edge of the area,Rotherfield were still trying to get back into the game and ADAM made a great save to prevent them from doing so HT 0-3.
Some changes to personnel were made to the side and Cumnor started the second half really well...chances came and WENT and it wasn't until a short corner from HARRY laid to MEHMET who smashed the ball into the net from just inside the area...4-0 and game over!!!!!!!!!!!
Rotherfield pulled a goal back with 8 minutes to go and the scored another with 3 minutes left on the clock but Cumnor saw time out and had won the match and for the first time this season had back to back league wins........FT 2-4.

A good win for the boys on not the easiest of playing surfaces, although with the amount of chances Cumnor had this could and probably should have been a more convincing scoreline.

Man of the Match:- ADAM for a great save in the first half and some solid handling yet again.

Special Mentions to- COOKIE,GEORGE M,JOHN and HARRY all had a terrific match
