Year 3 vs Ashley Down

Goodness me it was cold - and I wasn't even there. Year three's first chance to play on our new 'home' pitch at RGS ended in an aggregate win for the Foxes of 9-3, although with one victory each Ashley Down never made it easy.

The first Foxy Squad (Jack, Archie, Omar, Harry F, Sam L, Ollie C, Aidan, Max) took a little bit of time to warm up and by the time they had, found themselves 2-0 down. A third goal after the break made a come-back unlikely but in the words of Dave Thrasher: " we got a goal back when we passed from defence with four players involved and Sam L. finishing with a good goal. We pressed for the rest of the match but needed an extra 10 mins". So 3-1 then

The second game went a little bit more our way. Team 2 (Owen, Seb, Nick, Ollie K, Alec, Danny, Sonny, Barnabas) came out of the blocks like wild animals - perhaps being in the 'practice' cage for half an hour before the game gee-d them up and romped to an 8-0 win. They won almost every ball in every area of the pitch. Sonny had an outstanding game, not just for his six goals, but his movement up front, ball retention and passing. Danny and Sebastian (bursting forward from defence) got the other two goals. Special mentions also to Ollie K and Ollie C but without a doubt Sonny was the Foxy Man of the Match.
