CUAFC: The Crossbar Challenge
SAM HOBBS films CUAFC trying their hand at the Crossbar Challenge. If this doesn’t frighten Oxford, nothing will.
There are a number of skills that are highly valued in football. Nippy wingers who can beat a man get talked up in post-match analysis. Centre-back with years of experience and know-how get brought in to stave off relegation. And every year we get told more of that wondrous, near-mythical creature, the twenty-goal-a-season striker.
However, there’s one skill that stands out amongst others as having real pertinence: kicking a stationary ball, under no pressure at all, at the crossbar from 50 yards. That’s what really matters, so that’s what we sent the Blues off to do in the build-up to their Varsity game tomorrow evening. See how they got on here:
