The weather is usually pretty wet in Bloxham and today was no different. Cumnor had a full squad to chose from.
Both sides attacked from the start but both defences were holding out well. A cross from Wrighty saw Bradley just heading wide. Bloxham were awarded a free kick just outside the box. Robbie set up the wall and saved the kick with good handling. Kieren had to be sharp to stop Bloxham breaking through the middle of the defence.
At the other end, another great run from Fraser, after a defence splitting pass by Bradley, saw his shot go just wide.
Suddenly Cumnor scored two great goals. Freddie raced on a through ball from Alex. He jostled with the Bloxham defender and moved into the penalty area. He appeared to be pushed out too wide. Freddie smashhed the ball into the top corner. A great goal!
Joe won the ball on the left and worked a nice move with Freddie. The ball was slipped to Bradley. He was 20 yards out. He took a couple of strides and fired a great shot into the corner. What a goal!
Bloxham pushed forward. Declan was very busy on the left. He made a couple of great challenges as Bloxham threatened. Shaun started the next move. He slipped the ball to Joe who raced down the left and his cross was met by Bradley. His shot just went passed.
The second half saw Cumnor defending as Bloxham pressed for a goal to get them back into the game. Tim made a couple of saves early on to keep the score at 2-0.
Adam was finding room out on the left. He linked up well with Declan and made a few openings. Cumnor put 5 in midfield to prevent any dangerous shots from distance.
With minutes to go Adam had a chance to make it 3 but his shot just went over.
The referee blew for full time.
BLOXHAM 0 CUMNOR MINORS 2
A great victory. Bloxham are starting to look like the old Bloxham-a very good side.
Never easy to win at Bloxham but it was a very solid performance. In the semi-final we play Didcot.
