08-02-15                                     CUMNOR MINORS  2  v  KIDLINGTON  1

Another home game and another toil in the mud for the Cumnor boys against a Kidlington team who have been riding high in the league all season, and again this was going to be a difficult game.

Kidlington started the brighter of the two teams and came close to opening the scoring when a free kick was superbly saved by ADAM when somehow tipping the ball onto the crossbar when it looked like the ball was sailing into the top corner of the net, the game swung from end to end without any real clear cut chances for either team, that was until Ronan swung a cross from the left which fell nicely for JAMIE to drill in the net for Cumnor to take the lead after 20 minutes of play, Cumnor were now having more of the play but couldn't add to their lead and when Kidlington had a trio of corners of which Cumnor failed to clear  Kidlington grabbed the equaliser just before half time whistle, HT 1-1.
With the game still very much in the balance the second half started very much like the first with both teams trying to play there way through the mud and get their second goal, Kidlington were then reduced to 10 men for a reckless challenge on WILL, with 25 minutes still left of the game Cumnor had now a real chance to make their extra player count and push on for the win!! trying to break down a resolute Kidlington defence was becoming harder and harder as the game went and as the clock ticked down the players were getting more and more frustrated until finally with 4 minutes left on the clock DOM weaved his way into the box and slotted the ball home for the winning goal.            FT 2-1 ..........phew!!!

A great victory for the boys in the end up against a decent Kidlington team who certainly deserved credit for their ability to keep going and give Cumnor a real test of patience, but for both teams not only the playing against each other and on a very difficult playing surface (this was not a dirty match,) BUT the ref had decided from the start of the game he was going to dish out more cards than Paul Daniels has up his sleeve, this was a such a shame as both sets of players just wanted to play football against each other fairly and competitively.

Man of the Match:- WILL for a really strong game in the midfield and causing the opposition so much trouble!!
 
Did you like my refereeing??? NO...... NOT ALOT!!!!!!
