Another fine day for football as we welcomed a large Bishop Road squad onto the hallowed turf of the downs. A good turn out from the foxes considering a number of players were away on international duty, the foxes squad being strengthened by the young, dynamic duo of Jude and Monty.
Squad 1 - Rohan, Jack, William W, Jarnell, John, Ewan, Eddie, Jamie
Match 1
In the first game WPF started very brightly with Rohan in goal, Jack and William W in defence, Ewan and John in midfield with Eddie and Jarnell as strikers. With Jack supporting midfield with powerful runs forward it wasn't long before WPF were in front. Ewan, John and Eddie combined well in midfield and chances were being created particularly for John and Eddie who shared two goals each during the match. Any threat from Bishop Road was quite quickly snuffed out by Jack and William W. Jamie replaced Jarnell in the second half.
Final score WPF 4 Bishop Road 0.
Match 2
In the second game Rohan started in goal, Jack and Jarnell in defence, John, Ewan in mid field, Eddie and Jamie up front. John, Eddie and Ewan passed the ball very well between them creating many opportunities to score, John surging down the left, Ewan down the right and Eddie through the middle. The first half ended with WPF three goals to nil up. In the second half the subs were juggled again, Jarnell replacing Rohan in goal, William W coming on for John. Rohan made the most of his chance to play up front resulting in two good goals from Rohan. Ewan stretched the score even further with his first goal of the day with a very strong right-footed strike from the edge of the penalty box that the keeper couldn't hold. Jamie was very effective in defence.
Final score WPF 6 Bishop Road 0.
Squad 2 - Caston, Oscar, TJ, Matthew Y, Jude, Monty, Harrison, Joseph
Match 1
Caston in goal, with Matthew and Oscar at the back, the nippy 2 in the middle of Jude and Monty with Harrison and Joseph up front.
The Foxes started brightly with a number of attacks down the wings and through the middle. The Foxes' superiority up front soon told with a lovely through ball from Joseph allowing Harrison to smash it into the net. A scare for the Foxes as Monty, our guest player, who had started brightly took a ball into the stomach, As the wind had been taken from his sails, TJ came on to give Monty a few minutes to get his breath back. Another goal soon followed with a beautiful mazy run from Joseph. Bishop Road didn't let their heads drop though and were soon on the attack, they managed a couple of fine shots at our goal but Caston 'the cat' kept them both at bay with a great agile display. Joseph soon grabbed a third goal for the foxes in the 6th minute. Some great defending from Oscar who was showing a great awareness of distribution and some solid blocking from Matthew kept Bishop road pegged back. Harrison being an ever-present threat, constantly probing the Bishop road defence and testing the goal regularly. Jude had a great first half showing he wasn't going to be intimidated by players older than him. The second half started well with the fully recovered Monty coming on for Jude, Monty soon made his presence felt, constantly chasing down balls and looking up for the pass. Joseph soon got his well-deserved hat-trick with a fine strike. The second half continued with a fine passing performance and the boys didn't become complacent and kept up the tempo.
The game finished Foxes 4: BR 0. Well done lads!
Match 2
A bit of a change around in this match. Caston, after his fine display in goal, was given a chance on the pitch with TJ going in goal for the first half and Matthew for the second.
The Foxes started strongly once more, and were soon 1-0 up thanks to Harrison with a fantastic run from defence, carving through Bishop road to put the ball in the net with a fine finish, Jude, our little midfield dynamo had a cracking first half and soon added a second goal with a thunderbolt of a strike. Once more our defence were superb with Oscar again shielding the ball and distributing well, making sure TJ had very little to do! Joseph, who was on fire today, constantly attacked down the right and put in some lovely crosses, and finally got his first goal in this game. Quickly followed by another! Once more foxes on top early on with a great team performance, Caston showing tenacity and skill in midfield to win ball after ball and link up nicely with Monty.
2nd half had a bit if a change around in the team to give people a chance to play in different positions. Bishop road played well but the foxes were more than able to snuff out the attacks as they came. The foxes had chances to put a few more in with some great crosses from Harrison that were just beyond the reach of the players in the box. The 5th and final goal came midway through after yet another foxes attack ended in an unfortunate own goal from a Bishop Road player
The game finished Foxes 5: BR 0
