CM v Ducklington FC

24th February    away   result 3-2   half time 2-0
Scorers for CM: Ben Whitehead   Charlie Bennett

The game stated fairly evenly with Cumnor doing more of the attacking but neither team created clear cut chances.
After 20 minutes it was Ducklington who scored first following an uncharacteristic mix up in defence allowing their striker to jab the ball in from the centre of the penalty area.
Cumnor pressed for the equaliser but another mix up in their defence meant they two down after 35 minutes with the ball creeping inside the right post.
The half finished 2-0 and Pete's half time talk reminded Cumnor players that whilst they had to work hard, they were creating chances and the game was still within reach.
The second half started well for Cumnor and they had many opportunities to score but kept contriving to miss. It took a great long ball from a free kick by Kane after 55 minutes to central defender Ben who coolly shot from just outside the penalty area making the score 2-1
Cumnor pressed further for the equaliser but another defensive blunder allowed Ducklington to restore their two goal advantage, this time the ball crossing the line across the goal after claims for a goal kick.
Charlie Bennett raised Cumnor's hopes after 85 minutes when scored with a great shot from 30 yards out to the top left of the goal.
Ducklington held firm though and the game finished 3-2.
It was a below par performance all round from Cumnor with some lax defending but then again it was the two central defenders who scored the goals.
