Eight brave Foxes travelled to Yate to take part in the St Nicks Tournament. They arrived in time to see the year 5 boys battling bravely in the final of their competition, only to lose out in extra time. The girls were determined to go one better when they played.
Anna D, Anna R, Phoebe, Tia, Ella T, Marielle, Emily T and Bryony all played with skill and commitment throughout some tough games. The first was against Thornbury and is often the case when the two teams meet it was a close affair. The Foxes were unlucky to fall behind but they never gave up and Anna D rifled home a late equaliser to get us off to a solid start. Another draw against TC Juniors could really have been a win as the girls, with Anna, Phoebe, Bryony and Tia working hard in midfield, Emily, Anna R and Ella solid at the back and Marielle excellent in goal, the Foxes dominated but could not score.
Then a new opposition for us in the form of Cheltenham Spa. Emily and Phoebe each hit the post within the space of seconds and other chances came and went. In the end a very late break away goal for Cheltenham settled it, very much against the run of play. A long wait was followed with a crunch game against the hosts. If we could win we would make it through to the final. In the end St Nicks edged out winners and went on to win the final.
Overall an excellent display by all of the girls which deserved to win us a place in the final.
Well done to all.
