Y2 v Ashley Down (A)

A second game, and away (again) at Ashley Down. Our opponents couldn't quite field two teams, so the Foxes appeared to be playing against Ashley Down's strongest players in every game!

Despite this, the Foxes produced four great performances. The first game was extremely close, with Ashley Down edging a 1-2 win. It was clear that the coaches appeared to have learnt from the previous week, with shrewd tactical advice like 'Give it to Acer!' That's because in the second game the Foxes stormed to a two goal lead in as many minutes. The final score in that game was comfortable 2-1 win to the Foxes (our first win!), although we had to thank Ben's fantastic double tackle to deny Ashley Down's star striker a late equaliser.

In the third game, Samuel's clinical finish was the only goal of the game, although the Foxes would have scored a hatful but for the heroics of the Ashley Down goalie. The final game looked like a goal-less draw until a late Ashley Down penalty gave them a win.

So, a very enjoyable morning and the sharing of the points with an equally matched team. Some great teamwork today, and fantastic support. We look forward to many more exciting encounters.
