Scorer for CM Jake Gerring
The match was played in a strong wind blowing diagonally across the pitch. Cumnor won the toss and elected to play with the wind in the first half.
It started well for Cumnor and they created some good chances. Zak was put through by Westy West and although he struck the ball well it was saved by the keeper.
However Garsington scored after 20 minutes from their first attack with a strong shot from the centre giving Kane no chance.
Cumnor continued to create half chances and much of the play was in Garsington's half. The wind didn't benefit either team with Garsington's keeper struggling to kick the ball any distance and Cumnor's passes often catching the wind and running out of play.
The half finished 1-0 to Garsington.
Pete's half time talk praised the players for their efforts but reminded them it was going to be tiring against the wind as they strived to get the equaliser.
It was only one minute into the second half when Cumnor drew level. A great ball on the right from Westy to Jake was buried in the net by him with a sweet volley.
The rest of the half was a good battle by both teams but mainly with the wind rather than against each other. Both managed to create chances but a draw was a fair result although Cumnor could claim the majority of possession and chances.
Cumnor's teamwork was much improved over last week and there were good, hard working performances throughout the side. Ben Upjohn had a great debut in midfield especially has he hasn't played competitive football for a couple of years. It was good to see Connor Penfold back at Cumnor after a year's absence and he played well as striker and in midfield. Kane's kicking was exceptional in the conditions and a marked contrast to how the Garsington keeper struggled with the wind. Charlie Bennett took three awesome (his words) free kicks and Conrad worked tirelessly the whole game.
The man of the match voted by the management goes to Daniel Westy West who practically ran the right side of the pitch throughout the game.
