Year 6 boys continue winning ways at Clifton

Despite missing a number of key players the Foxes turned in an excellent team performance to win at Clifton. There were many stand-out players in the squad: at the back Adam and Kris were maginificent. Adam is now turning out consistently strong defensive games whenever he plays and he is a great battler with good positional sense and Kris was a rock at the back reading the game brilliantly. Tom W excelled in goal and again his positional sense is the best in the squad often cutting out dangerous moves with one deft touch. Oliver W and Eddie produced great passing moves. Gabe scored two - one a great header - and Jack made his first touch count in his one chance which he converted superbly. Oliver B played well in midfield and Oliver D turned on the style as his dad was watching! Finally James was a star: determined, pacey and always competitive. The results went our way and deservedly so. Two frustrating draws (1-1, Gabe scoring and the Foxes conceding a late but excellent Clifton goal, and 0-0, where really a win would have been a fair result) were followed by an excellent 2-0 victory with Jack and Gabe on the score sheet.

The comedy award went to Adam for his Run-Away Haynes moment in front of goal - pure comic genius - and star player this week was Kris.

Paul and Andy were again delighted with the passing moves, the great defensive play and spirit of the whole team. With the Thornbury tournament approaching in May we are confident of a good showing if we can keep this up. Well done to everyone!
