Queens' 1 Jesus 4

Another year, another lost to Jesus in the cup :-(
Last year it was the cup final, this time, it was the semi-final...
This was alot closer than the score-line suggests, as we dominated the first half but couldn't convert chances against a very, very good Jesus keeper (Loxam put himself in goal, and he's one of the best keepers in cambridge). They went 1-0 near the end of the first half as a long ball over the top managed to find their dangerous striker in a little bit and space and he managed to beat the keeper from the edge of the box in what was their only chance of the half pretty much.
The second half, we push on hard but didn't get any reward and conceded a weak goal after 10mins and so at 2-0, we had to push on to try and get back in the game... we did this with a nice goal from Pete, but they were playing well on the counterattack keeping two strikers up front and their midfield was working very hard and we just didn't have enough in the tank to compete. Ah well, it wasn't our day this time....
Darwin went on to beat Jesus in the cup final 2-1 after extra time (i reffed the game and the Jesus keeper basically kept them in the game and made a ridiculous number of top class saves..)

Oh yes, and next years captain is Paul Conduit, our all-action midfielder 1st phd guy, so he'll be taking over website duties..... and the Queens' end of season formal in on thursday 17th May so I'll be putting photos up after then!

Team: Simon, Dan Bolland, Andy Hawkins, Adrien, Andy Bailey, Gabriel, Paul, Herve, Alan, Tom, Pete, Yue, Tom
