Y4 Foxes have another Golden Day against the Sonics 26 March

18 eager Foxes turned up for a late kick-off away at Golden Hill Sonics. We split into two even squads to play 2 matches each against a club with some outstanding players that has given us some tough matches in the past.

Green Squad: Billy, Brody, Eddie, Henry, Isaac, Josh, Sam, William LP, William W.

Match 1
The Foxes started slowly, gong behind from the first Sonics attack, due to some poor concentration. However, the boys soon got themselves in gear. The result was our signature fast flowing football using the small pitch to our advantage. Three goals followed. Josh struck first, taking his chance after a quick throw. Henry produced some lovely work on the right before Sam finished for our second. The third was a contender for goal of the season. Eddie moved into attack in the second half and produced a Thunderbolt that rocketed into the back of the net.
Result: Foxes 3: GH Sonics 1

Match 2
Again a lapse in concentration at the start cost us dearly as Sonics struck first. Once they switched on the Foxes produced a commanding performance, solid in defence and totally in control in midfield. The goals flowed. Henry started the rout with a well-taken individual effort. Josh gave us the lead after a lovely pass from Sam. Josh returned the favour minutes later, with another lovely pass for Sam to score. Josh added our fourth with a trademark tap-in after William LP’s shot was deflected. William’s efforts were then rewarded when a cracking shot gave us our fifth. 6 minutes in extra time (!) Sonics got a late consolation from a wonderful free kick.
Result: Foxes 5: GH Sonics 2


White Squad: Caleb, Ewan, Harrison, Jack, Joseph, Matthew Y, Oskar, Rohan, Tee-Jay.

Match 1
The Foxes were evenly matched to begin with. And although we made some good chances the Sonics kept us at bay. The breakthrough came when Joseph pressed the opposition hard and the ball fell to Ewan who produced a lovely strike for the first goal. Fantastic keeping from Rohan, including a spectacular save kept us ahead. Tee-Jay played superbly all afternoon, his slide tackles timed to perfection. But it wasn’t just a defensive display. Tee-Jay came close after spinning onto a shot but the second goal would not come. Joseph crossed to Harrison but his shot went just wide. Eventually the pressure and passing play paid off. Joseph latched on to a poor clearance from the Sonics to close out the match.
Result: Foxes 2: GH Sonics 0

Match 2
Keen to take an unbeaten record from the fixture, the Foxes again started well. Tee-Jay won the ball on the right of midfield and delivered a far post cross for Harrison to tap in. The Sonics then produced some great individual play as their best player almost dribbled through the entire team. But our defence of Jack, Caleb, Matthew and Oskar were a match for him. We were warned. Matthew was tasked to mark him man-for-man and did a superb job, nullifying the threat. Tee-Jay added a second after Joseph delivered from Harrison’s quick throw-in. Although Sonics pulled on back, Harrison put the game out of reach when he took a corner on the far left that sailed directly into the net. A great team effort.
Result: Foxes 3: GH Sonics 1

Overall the morning produced some of the best football the Foxes have played. Great team work and lovely football. Everyone played really well as we dominated a very good Sonics side and came away with 4 wins from 4. Brilliant – well done!

Men of the matches: Tee-Jay, Joseph and Henry.
