Y2 v Sefton Park (A)

A great performance saw the strong Year 2 Foxes squad dominate Sefton Park Scorpions and come away with a win and a draw.

In the first match, the 'blue' Foxes quickly dictated the game. The key was a strong midfield marshalled by Alex, Rajiv and Frazer, in front of the fine defensive duo of Xabi and Louis. It wasn't long before Samuel capitalised on a hesitant Scorpions defence to rifle home the Foxes' first goal. The free running skills of Acer soon created a second, and the Foxes could have gone further ahead.

After half time, it was more of the same. It took a great save by the Scorpion's goalkeeper to deny Acer a second, but Samuel was on hand to skip over the goalie and tap in his second from six inches. This typified a Foxes' performance where they were first to everything - the Scorpions did not have a clear cut opportunity and the Foxes ended up winning 3-0.

In the second game, the 'red' Foxes continued in the same vein, with strong midfield performances from Tom, Oliver and the ever-tigerish Ben. They deservedly went ahead with a star goal, Sam bambouzling the Scorpion's defence and giving the goalkeeper no chance with a great shot.

The Scorpions were a match for the Foxes midfield and despite a number of great runs from Kieron which could have added to the Foxes' lead, the Scorpions drew level with a
shot from Max giving William no chance in goal. Even so, the Foxes could have won the game, and Jess nearly capped a fine performance with a winner.
