Y2 v Bishop Road (H)

A return fixture against Bishop Road, on a blustery Saturday morning. We split the squad into two teams, and played two matches.

The 'reds' found it tough going in the first half with the wind against them. The two teams were fairly evenly matched and creating chances was difficult. Just before half time, though, Bishop Road took the lead with a fine shot into the far corner. In the second half, the game flowed from end to end with outstanding contributions from Jacob and Jess. Bishop Road added a second goal with a few minutes to go when their striker was in the right place at the right time following a fine save by Alex, for what was a well-deserved victory.

In the 'blues' game, both teams also found the conditions made fluid football dificult. In the second half, with the wind behind them, the Foxes took the lead when Samuel broke free of the defence and dispatched the ball into the top corner giving the goalkeeper no chance. Mid-way through the half, Acer made it 2-0 after a Messi-like run and the Foxes ran out comfortable and happy winners.

So, despite the conditions, two enjoyable and rewarding games, and it was fitting that the day would end with the honours even.
