14-12-14                                 ST EDMUNDS  1  v  CUMNOR MINORS  5

After several weeks of Cumnor having some terrific performances and cruising to some very convincing victories todays game against St Eds was going to be a real test not just physically but mentally as well!!

From the off again as they have done now since the start of the season Cumnor were very quickly out of the blocks and took an early lead when JAMIE turned and slotted past the keeper from just inside the box to give the boys the perfect start after only 4 minutes, Cumnor were keeping the pressure on and when GEORGE M fired home from fully 25/30 yards out into the top corner of the net they got what they deserved a two goal lead, three minutes later it was 3-0 when DOM stabbed home from close range after the St Eds defence failed to clear from RONAN'S corner, but St Eds found themselves back in the game when a ball over the top of the Cumnor defence was pounced on and slotted home, Cumnor had to keep up the pressure and their concentration with still 10 minutes left of the half they did just that when DOM putting pressure on the defence the ball broke for HARRY who calmly lobbed the keeper for a 4-1 lead and Cumnor ended a perfect half when MEHMET shot/cross from 30 yards out found its way into net HT 1-5.
In the second half Cumnor needed to keep their composure and approach the half exactly like they had the first,with WILL coming on for COOKIE who had battled well in the first half and TOM going upfront with DOM Cumnor were looking to build on their lead and came close when DOM fired wide and TOM hit the crossbar in-between JAMIE had been felled in the box and HARRY kicked the resulting penalty kick into the kids playground!!(unlucky son), with WILL causing the Et Eds defence problems down the right hand side and RONAN keeping St Eds star player quite in the midfield Cumnor were also looking comfortable at the back with ADAM CAM,SCOTT,GEORGE M ,JOHN and MEHMET keeping all St Eds attacks at bay, with MATTHEW coming on for a late cameo appearance Cumnor saw the time out and had won a very important game.(yes!!!) FT 1-5.

A truly great performance by the all the team, keeping their heads and letting their feet do the talking was the perfect way to win the match, a very much deserved victory A VERY BIG WELL DONE TO ALL THE BOYS.

Man of the Match:- MEHMET for a great goal and strong defensive display
 5-1...........get in there!!!!!
