CM v Kennington Athletic U16s Friendly

21st April   Away   result 1-2   half time 0-1
Scorers for CM   Conrad Deer   Cameron Craig

This was a quickly arranged game following a gap in the fixtures for Cumnor due to Grove Rangers' withdrawing from the league. Kennington Athletic are a decent A league team so it promised to be a good match.
It started brightly in sunny spring conditions although the dry pitch meant the ball was awkward to control at times.
Both teams played some good football and there was chances at either end. Conrad eventually scored for Cumnor after 30 minutes going straight through on goal.
This meant the half finished 1-0. Pete's half time talk reminded the midfield to keep it tight and for the striker to concentrate playing in the centre of the pitch rather than drifting to the wings.
The second half progressed with Cumnor gradually getting on top and they were rewarded with a well taken goal from the left of the penalty area by Cameron Craig after 70 minutes.
Kennington fought back well and got a deserved goal with the last kick of the game.

It was a well played game in good spirits and many thanks to Sam Byrne for organising the hosting of it all. I thought both referees were excellent, particularly the one in the first half.
