Cumnor had suffered problems before the game. Alex, Luke W and Harri were all ruled out of the game. Bradley and Kieren were playing with injuries.
The game started with Blackbirds looking dangerous. The long ball over the top was creating lots of problems. Tim made a great finger tip save to push the ball by the post. Cumnor were looking very jittery. Our back four were getting caught out with the quickness of the Blackbird attackers.
Cumnor started to come into the game. Luke was starting to win the ball in midfield. He slipped the ball to Fraser who released Freddie. He left his defender and slipped the ball past the Blackbirds goalie. Cumnor had a few more chances. Joe and Bradley linked up to release Bradley. His shot was deflected for a corner. Shaun had a header just slip past the post.
Jordi made a clearance after a Blackbird attack. Robbie controlled the ball and found Fraser. The ball was crossed over and Shaun slipped the ball into the net to make it 2-0.
Blackbirds nearly scored just before half time but Wrighty made a great interception.
The first half finished.
Cumnor came out in the second half and started to play some better football. Kieren and Jordi started to hold onto the ball and look for players. Luke and Robbie started to win the balls in midfield. Joe was racing up and down the left side trying to start attacks. Freddie and Bradley both came close to scoring. At the other end, Tim made two great saves before he was finally beaten by an unstoppable shot. It was 2-1.
Cumnor suffered an uncomfortable last couple of minutes before the referee blew for full time.
CUMNOR MINORS 2 OXFORD BLACKBIRDS 1
Not a great display by Cumnor. We know how well we can play and next week against Marston will give us an opportunity to show how well we can play.
A great display from Oxford Blackbirds. This should be a exciting season in a great league.
