Y2 v Sefton Park (H)

Our last game of the Friendly League season against Sefton Park Scorpions.

For a warm-up, the Foxes sprinted round the Sports Relief Mile, perhaps they wouldn't if they knew that they had 90 mins of football to follow...

Three Foxes teams of eight played against a Scorpions squad of 12 - and whilst each game was being played, the 'resting' two Foxes teams played each other.

The first game was tight, with the 'reds' midfield dominating. In a game of few chances (no one got past Jacob), Reggie came very close with a last minute shot that just went the wrong side of the post. The game ended 0-0.

In the second game, the 'yellow' Foxes were more dominant. Alex in goal was untroubled but the Foxes could not turn posession into clear-cut chances. Mid way through the second half, Samuel found room for a shot and dispatched the ball into the top left hand corner. 1-0.

The last of the three games belonged to Sefton Park against a tired 'blues'. Three shots and three good goals by the Scorpions brought the season to a close.

So the end to a fantastic first season, and it's amazing to see how much the Foxes have improved, especially as they are starting to appreciate the benefits of playing as a team. Highlight of the season? - the comeback against a strong Rockleaze Rangers when 1-5 down at half time.
