IMPRESSIVE CUMNOR TAKE THREE POINTS

Cumnor were visiting Quarry today. They have started their return to the A league well. At last Cumnor had nearly a full squad to choose from. Tim will be out till the New Year and Luke W will be finishing his trial at Oxford next week.

The team formation was changed to allow Luke to watch the dangerous Quarry forward.

Cumnor started the game as they finished last week. Some of the play was a joy to watch. One touch football using the full width of the pitch.

Cumnor took the game to Quarry and they had a few early opportunities. Wrighty and Declan were linking up well on the left hand side. Robbie started a couple of moves with some quick throws.

Cumnor were soon one up with a great move. Luke, yet again, cleared the ball. It was passed between Joe and Shaun. Freddie controlled the ball and slipped the ball to Bradley. Bradley raced into the box and fired a great shot. It was saved well by the goalie but Declan was there to slip the ball into the net. It was 1-0 to Cumnor.

Fraser made a break on the right. He raced in on goal and crossed the ball. it was met by Bradley but the goalie saved. Kieren made a good interception and passed the ball to Robbie. He swept the ball to Wrighty. He carried the ball forward and released Declan. He shrugged of a couple of challenges and as he approached the goalie hit a great shot towards the net. The goalie saved but Bradley was sharp to turn the ball into the back of the net. It was 2-0.

Jordi made another great tackle and started another move. He passed to Joe who found Fraser. He released Freddie. he crossed the ball and Declan was there to slot the ball into the back of the net. It was 3-0.

Cumnor had lots of chances but could not score anymore before half time. Shaun had a great shot which just went past the post. Joe came close with a great run but just lost control at the last minute.

The first half finished 3-0.

Quarry were a different side in the second half. They had a couple of good shots but Robbie's handling was superb. Cumnor still tried to play football. Harri made a great run up the left but his shot was saved by the goalie. Bradley broke free and fired a great shot past the post. Freddie had a shot saved. Joe had a header well saved by the Quarry goalie. Quarry then got a well worked goal. A great individual run by the Quarry attacker left our defence stranded and he fired in a great shot past Robbie. A great goal.

Cumnor needed another goal to settle down the side. Alex and Adam were brought on to defend the lead. Alex was quickly involved with a great tackle to stop an attack.

With 5 minutes to go, Adam won the ball in midfield. Fraser then slipped the ball through to Freddie. He rounded the goalie and made it 4-1.

The game finished 4-1.

Cumnor are getting better every week. They are playing great football. Great passing and great movement makes every game a joy to watch. We have Newbury next week which will be a very tough game. As we have overcome our early season injuries, we now have a very strong squad.
