With the School entering a team into a Saturday morning Tournament (where we reached the semi-final)the Foxes saw a return to the world of friendlies as the league agreed to a postponement of the Greens' and Whites' fixtures as we could not field enough players.
The boys who were available fought out a dogged away draw with a strong Ashley Down team in glorious October sunshine. Both sides had their attacking moments, but neither could break the deadlock over half an hour, with defences very much on top. The game finished with a very grown-up 0-0 scoreline. The Foxes' defence was expertly marshalled by Ollie K, with strong tackling contributions in defence and midfield from Sam P, Aidan and Harry F, leaving Owen without too many saves to make. Special mention also to Nick, who found some promising positions down the wings from Owen's clearance kicks but was frequently 'in the wars' from some strong but fair Ashley Down challenges. All in all it was a very good effort and all the boys contributed well, especially those who came on and off as subs.
