07-05-2014 CUMNOR MINORS 4 v DRAYTON WASPS 5
After a very busy weekend away Cumnor were up against a determined Drayton side who themselves have blown hot and cold all season, this was always going to be a close affair!
Cumnor got off to there traditional slow start when conceding two early goals and were now after only 10 minutes chasing the game, CAM did pull a goal back after 20 minutes when firing in from the edge of the area and Cumnor were back in the match, BUT just before half-time conceded again and went into break two behind...... HT 1-3.
Cumnor had to put a stop to the Drayton forward who was causing all the damage, HARRY and DOM dropped in at the centre of defence and 5 minutes later TOM finished superbly when cutting in from the left to fire home, Cumnor were now pushing for the equaliser JAMIE came close when shooting just wide, but unfortunately Cumnor were caught on the break and were again two behind, still very much in the game a ball over the top from HARRY and CAM latched onto it to make it 3-4 with 10 minutes still left to play the game could have gone either way but Drayton grabbed the next goal on a close offside call(unlike like the opposition lino at least ANDY/IAN wont have a stiff arm today!!!!!) the game was over,but Cumnor did manage score in the last minute(DOM) but didn't have enough time to even get the ball back and had lost the match by 4 goals to 5.
The boys slow start made life very difficult for themselves and Draytons forward was a force and unfortunately they couldn't handle him,but should take heart that they kept plugging away and gave Drayton a real game, the boys will be more than determined to make up for this when they play their last game of the season on sunday at St Eds.
Man of the Match :- MATTHEW for never giving up
Special Mentions to DOM for battling away all match and ADAM for a couple of great saves keeping us in the game.
I SAY NO MORE!!!!!!!
