CUMNOR REACH QUARTER FINALS OF B&B CUP

Cumnor reached there second quarter final in a week with an impressive display against Cholsey.

Some crisp passing and hard tackling eased Cumnor into the next round. The treble is still in our sights. Two years ago we lost in the final of the B&B due to playing a weakened side due to losing 2 of our best players just weeks before. This time we are prepared to go all the way.

Cumnor took the game to Cholsey and it was no surprise that we took the lead. A cross from Fraser found Shaun. He controlled the ball and slipped it into the net. It was 1-0.

Luke had an opportunity from 6 yards but skied the ball over the bar. The next goal was scored by Declan. Some good work from Adam and Kieren released Declan. He moved into the box and fired an unstoppable shot into the corner.

Then a clearance from Wrighty allowed Freddie to get in behind the defence and lob the ball over the oncoming goalkeeper. It was 3-0. Jordi set up the next move. He did a lovely 1-2 with Fraser. He collected the ball but was tackled just outside the box and the ball was released.

Robbie was rarely called to make any saves in the first half.

In the second half, Cumnor played some fantastic football. They passed the ball from one end of the pitch to the other. Especially on the left hand side, Declan and Adam were forming a deadly partnership. They moved the ball up the park and passed to Luke. He then passed to Declan who raced to the byline. He cut the ball back and Bradley slipped the ball into the net.

Shaun after hitting the bar scored the fifth with a deadly strike from 20 yards.

Fraser came close with a shot from a tight angle.

A rare Cholsey attack was stopped by a great tackle from Robbie.

Adam the sent in another great cross which was met by Bradley. He glanced the ball into the back of the net. It was 6-0.

With minutes to go Cholsey got a goal. They broke through the middle of the defence. The attacker shot and Tim made a great save. The rebound was collected by the Cholsey attacker and slipped into the net. It was 6-1.
