Well - after winning silverware at Thornbury and reaching the final at Clifton, being knocked out in the semi-final at St Nicks may feel like a let down. No such thing. Our 'Red Team' (Harri TD, Harry F, Joey, Ollie K, Sam L, Owen, Omar, Raul) did brilliantly well to finish second in a strong group of 7 teams. Lots of football, lots of hard work and a deserved place in the knock-out stages. The semi-final itself against a good St Nicks team could have gone either way, but the boys should be proud of what they achieved.
The 'Blue Team' (Jack T, Jacob, Max, Aidan, Danny, Nick, Sebastian, Archie) fought hard and should have won at least one game but three draws and three defeats was not enough to see them out of their group - but at no stage were they overpowered by any team.
The St Nicks Tournament is a great chance for the Foxes to to play teams we would otherwise never come across. Most of them play in competitive leagues and have been around for, oh, ages. So our overall performance was enough to make the coaches content old men.
Now onwards to Rockleaze....
