Y2 v Shirehampton Colts (H)

It was won one, lost three against Shirehampton Colts. The Foxes put up some battling performances and were unlucky to come away on the wrong side of the results.

The 'reds' found their first game difficult but some excellent defending kept the game tight. However, shirehampton squeezed in a goal and came away with a 1-0 win.

In the other game, the 'blues' immediately found their rythme and after only a few minutes took the lead when Samuel fired home. Minutes later and it was 2-0 as Rajiv got on the scoresheet with a lovely goal from the edge of the area that gave the Colt's goalkeeper no chance; and it would have been three had Acer's penalty not struck the post, awarded after he was brought down when through on goal. The Colts pulled a goal back and it looked as though it would be a nervy last ten minutes until Samuel's persistence was rewarded with a third goal.

The teams swapped opponents and played another 20 minute game. This time the 'reds' took control of the game and just could not find a way to score, despite a fantastic midfield performance, lead by Jamie. They went behind to a penalty awarded for handball, and in the dying minutes, the Colts scored a second with a breakaway goal and arguably the best goal scored against the Foxes this season with a wonderful shot from the right into the top left hand corner. A goal worthy of winning any game, but you couldn't fault the Foxes performance.

The 'blues' also found themselves on the wrong side of a 2-0 scoreline, this time in a very even game. Two clinical finishes gave the Colts a victory they probably just deserved. Despite the results though, the Foxes should be proud of their performance against a strong Colts squad.
