Y3 versus Golden Hill Sonics Saturday 13th March Report #2

What a day for football! The sun was shining, the temperature was above freezing for a change and 18 eager foxes turned up, keen to play against the mighty sonics....

Team: Rohan, Josh, Stanley, Matthew, Jack, William W, Eddie, Caston, Ludo, TJ

Two great games played in a fine spirit. 1st game was a game of 2 halves. Tj started the scoring with a beautifully taken goal after great approach play from Caston. The sonics soon hit back with some skillful passing that found a way through the foxes tenacious defence. The second half saw the sonics better organised and they managed to pierce the foxes defence, this in despite of some incisive defending from William and great goalkeeping from Rohan. A couple more goals followed in quick succession through the Sonics well organised attacking line up. The foxes managed to get one back with the final kick of the game.. an exquisite free kick from the left by Ludo that looped into the top right hand corner. final score 2-4 to the sonics.

2nd game. The valiant foxes didn't let their heads drop for a moment following the result of the first and they set about probing and attacking the sonics defensive lines. Josh was unlucky to see a well struck shot rebound off the post. TJ worked tirelessly alongside Caston in midfield, sticking close to the sonics danger players. Eddie was his usual dependable defensive self repelling anything the sonics could throw at the foxes. Stanley troubled the sonics down the wing. Rohan and William maintaining order and calm in the midfield. Jack had a fine game in goal with some brave shot stopping. Matthew held his defensive line well and cleared many troublesome balls.

A sonics goal was soon cancelled out by a great stroke from Stanley. and the deadlock was almost broken at the end of the game with some clever play from Josh on the byline as he managed to thread a neat ball to ludo who shaved the crossbar with a great shot. So end of game honours even but a wonderful display from every single one of the foxes players who played so well as a team and were a real credit to
the foxes name.

Man of the match. Caston. A tireless display, a great example of what man to man marking can achieve in preventing counter attacks and bravery following a ball to the face!! well done!
