Y3 Foxes gambol in St Nick's sunshine 5th June

In the sunshine of a Saturday afternoon 14 committed Foxes took on all-comers as Monty Nash stepped up from Year 2 to help bolster the two squads.

Westbury Park Blue Squad team of Henry, Stanley, Eddie, Ewan, Sam, Ludo and Matthew played five excellent matches. All the boys gave 100% effort and managed to keep their concentration for over 4 hours. WP Blue lost 3 games 1-0 and drew one game 0-0 and in each of these games it was very close with WP Blue probably having most of the pocession. With a little more luck in front of goal we could have won these games! In the final game against the best team, WP Blue lost quite heavily but we were reduced to five available players against six by that stage. During the tournament the boys really impressed with their commitment. WP Blue player of the tournament was Henry for his tireless running and sportsmanship despite some less than sporting tackling from some teams. A very large thank you to all the parents who came and watched despite the very hot weather and disapointing results.

Westbury Park Red Squad comprised Billy, Tee-Jay, Jack, Harrison, Joseph, Josh and Monty. Late starts and delays meant that our first match was nearly an hour late kicking off shortly after which we had to say goodbye to Billy. However the 6 players who remained played their hearts out! Josh passed beautifully as two excellent goals from Joseph and Harrison set us on our way to a 2-0 victory. A stunning long-range free-kick from Harrison put us within a whisker of winning our second, only for a late equaliser against the run of play to peg us back to 1-1. Jack and Monty set up Joseph perfectly for him to score two more and give us our next victory 2-0. By the 4th match tiredness was setting in, but great goals from TJ and Harrison brought our third win 2-1. And in the final match despite legs so tired they could barely move we still looked the better team, Monty just missing as we drew 0-0. Final result - played 5, won 3, drew 2. Unbeaten. Man of the tournament went to Monty for his fearless tackling, excellent passing and determination to run and run and run!

We could not be prouder of the effort everyone put in and the sporting way in which all the Foxes played. Some beautiful football played in the right spirit. Congratulations to all who took part.
