Year 6 boys come close at Thornbury and Clifton

The last two weekends have seen some great Foxes action from the year 6 boys at tournaments at Thornbury and Clifton.

At Thornbury both squads reached the semi finals of their tournaments only to narrowly miss out on a crack at the trophy in the final on penalties. It was a cold and windy day and many thanks to all our supporters who braved the elements to cheer on the teams!

At Clifton despite remaining unbeaten in the group matches the Foxes finished second and then faced the academy boys from Jamie Shore. The Foxes played their hearts out, went a goal up when Gabe scored and only went out of the tournament when Jamie Shore scored twice late on. It was a memorable day for the team (who could forget the incredible strike from Kris against the Sonics? even though we once again were narrowly beaten so close to glory.

And so our thoughts turn to Rockleaze. Bring it on!

Y4 Boys Miss Out In Thrilling Clifton Final



Congratulations to the Y4 boys who came so close to winning the Clifton United Tournament at the weekend.

The team, consisting of Jack Clarke, Jacob and Raul Gibson, Ollie Kieran, Sam Lawes, Joey Martin-Tulloch, Sonny Singh, Max Thrasher (capt), Archie Watts and Danny Wistow, played superbly well and were unlucky to miss out on victory in the final. Danny hit the post and in a three-on-three extra time Sam came so close to scoring.

St Nicks next - COME ON THE FOXES!

Y4s Crowned "Best Of The Rest" At Thornbury


Congratulations to the Y4 boys for their success in the Thornbury Tournament last weekend.

The team, consisting of Aidan, Harry, SamL, Joey, Max, Seb, Archie and Danny, scooped the Consolation Cup.

On their journey to the final they won their first ever penalty shoot-out sudden death (hurrah) and beat the other Foxes' Y4 team in the semi-final (a bitter-sweet moment for us all).

And well done to all the Foxes teams who played at Thornbury - their effort and behaviour was a credit to the club.

COME ON THE FOXES! - and good luck at the Clifton Tournament this Sunday.
