CUMNOR SEND DAVE TO DEVON WITH THE DOUBLE
Cumnor created history by winning the Cup and the league. If you remember the day that Dave gave notice that he was leaving Cumnor, the boys and parents pledged to give Dave the best send off ever with the cup and league double. Cumnor not only achieved the double but they won it in great fashion. The Oxford Mail League was enhanced this year by the addition of Bloxham and Newbury. It took great victories against these sides to win the double.
Both sides had trophies won already this season. Both wanted the Oxford Mail Cup.
Straight from the KO produced the first goal. Harri and Luke linked up to release Freddie. He moved into the penalty box and slipped the ball past the keeper to make it 1-0.
Newbury pushed forward and made it 1-1 with a fantastic goal. A cross was met by the Newbury attacker and he slipped it past Robbie into the back of the net. Robbie stood no chance.
The game opened up. Cumnor worried about the Newbury wingers. Jordi and Mark made some great tackles to stop attacks but they always looked dangerous.
Wrighty was having a blinder at the back. Was this the same player that was carried off last week. It does seem that playing on the X Box 360 does help knee injuries.
Kieren made so many great tackles but one stood out. He stopped a Newbury attack. He flew the ball forward. Shaun controlled the ball and slipped the ball to Freddie. He took one touch and slipped the ball over the goalie into the back of the net. It was 2-1.
Cumnor held out and it finished 2-1 at half -time.
Cumnor delayed the start of the second half by taking there time to leave the changing rooms. Either Dave was giving a lengthy half-time talk or he was trying to remember all his childrens names.
Straight from the KO Fraser controlled the ball. He raced forward and found Freddie. He raced into the box and fired a shot towards the net. The goalie made a great save but Harri jumped in to hit the ball into the back of the net. It was 3-1.
Alex had to make a great tackle to keep Newbury out.
Newbury attacked and the tricky no 12 made a great run. He raced into the box and shot. Tim raced out and made a great save.
Ibby and Adam linked up well to force a corner. The corner was taken. The ball ended up in the box. Luke with a great back heel made it 4-1.
The game must be over. Newbury did not give up. They attacked but met a resilient Cumnor.
The game ended 4-1 for Cumnor.

[FRED 2, HARRI AND LUKE]
Well done to Cumnor. What a performance. Whatever Dave finds down in Devon, I don't think it will ever match the Cumnor Minors 2009-2010.
A great side that never give up. The players won it for Dave.
Congratulations to Newbury for a great campaign. They won the B&B and pushed Cumnor in the cup and league. Also they were very gracious in defeat.

CUMNOR ARE CHAMPIONS
Cumnor arrived at Bloxham on a cold windy morning knowing that in 70 minutes they could become league champions 2010. What stood in there way was an excellent Bloxham side. Cumnor had a full squad and there was worry and excitement in equal amount. A win or draw would give Cumnor the Championship. Dave had been thinking about the game all week. Cumnor started with a 4-5-1 formation. Freddie played up front and Bradley was pulled back into midfield.
With the wind behind, Bloxham started stronger. Robbie had to make a couple of stops and Bloxham's Tom Bosher was looking dangerous.
Cumnor started to cause Bloxham problems as a Bradley shot went wide. In five minutes, Cumnor found themselves 2 -0 down. Two great goals gave Robbie no chance. The Cumnor players looked shocked. With the wind blowing at them and Bloxham in the ascendancy, Cumnor looked worried.
As you would expect, Cumnor rolled there sleeves up and fought for every ball. Soon Cumnor were on top. Shaun flew a great ball over the defence and was met by Freddie. He shot and the goalie saved. The ball game out to Fraser. He rifled home an amazing shot from 18 yards. It was 2-1. Luke was making some great tackles to Tom's attacks. A Bloxham through ball was met by Kieran. He cleared the ball. It was controlled by Shaun. He was brought down 20 yards out. It was a free kick to Cumnor. Wrighty raced up to take the free kick. He measured his kick. It flew over the goal keeper, hit the underside of the bar and landed in the back of the net. What a goal! It was 2-2.
Jordi broke up a Bloxham attack. He moved forward with the ball and found Fraser. He found Luke but he was tackled and the ball went out for a corner. Harri took the corner and Shaun rose above the defence to header the ball into the back of the net. A great header. It was 3-2.
Cumnor were now on top. Mark broke up another attack and found Bradley. He slipped the ball to Freddie. Freddie had his shot saved.
With minutes to go at the other end, Bloxham snatched an equaliser. It was 3-3. The referee blew for half time. What a game!
In the second half, Cumnor stopped playing football. Bloxham controlled the game. They looked the more likely to score. Kieren and Wrighty were playing out off their skins. Making last gasp tackles and some great clearances. Alex tackled with such strength that it surprised everyone. These 3 could not keep the ball out for ever. Another Bloxham attack split the Cumnor defence. The Bloxham player controlled the ball and fired the ball past an advancing Tim. It was 4-3.
Cumnor were coming back into the game but still were not looking confident. Luke made a great tackle in midfield and found Harri. He raced forward and hit a great shot into the back of the net. It was 4-4.
With 10 minutes to go Cumnor took the lead. A flick from Freddie found Biggy. He beat a couple of players and shot. It was saved. It came out to Freddie who calmly slipped the ball into the net. It was 5-4.
Cumnor attacked again. Adam controlled the ball and slipped the ball to Bradley. He found Robbie who took a couple of touches and volleyed the ball into the net. It was 6-4.
The game was not over. Bloxham flew forward. Alex made a great tackle and pushed the ball out for a corner. It was put into the box and Tim rose to punch the ball away. In the last minute Bloxham made it 5 with a great shot. Bloxham could have equalised but the shot went past.
The referee looked at his watch and blew for time. It was 6-5. What a game! A great advert for Boy's football.

(FRASER, WRIGHTY, SHAUN, HARRI, FREDDIE AND ROBBIE}
CUMNOR ARE CHAMPIONS. Well done Cumnor. A great result and well deserved. To beat Bloxham on their own pitch and win the league is amazing. Bloxham are by far the best side we have played this year.
