Yr 5 Boys vs Golden Hill Sonics - 29/01/11

Well that was better. After stumbling to defeat against a good Bishop Road side, the Foxes were back to winning ways against the Sonics. Phew.

The Sonics arrived unbeaten this season and brought two well-organised and competitive squads.

The Foxes split in two and from the first whistle played controlled football, supporting each other with discipline and scoring some eye catching goals.

The first squad won both of their games (6-0 and 4-0). Highlights included a fabulous strike from Ian into the roof of the net after good work from Danny, a goal which usually would have won any goal of the week award. But this time round it was pipped by a great individual goal from Joey. This taken with one of his best all-round performances for the Foxes made the man of the match award unusually easy for the coaches.

The other squad stormed to a 2-0 lead, looked comfortable, threatened to stretch the lead and then ended up drawing 2-2 as players started to drift out of position and try too much on their own. The second game, a 5-0 win, was a much more complete performance with the Foxes keeping their positions and doing the simple things well. Man of the match in this squad went to Nick for great goals and great effort throughout.

Well done all.
