It's been a long time coming but finally the year 6 Foxes captured a trophy in a thrilling, closely fought final against Stoke Lane for the BSYL U11 Challenge Cup on Friday.
Stoke Lane started strongest with some nice passing football using the full width of the pitch to put the Foxes under great pressure. Ollie K and Nick stood strong in defence and after soaking up a fair amount of pressure we scored two great breakaway goals. The first began with a slick combination between Danny and Omar and the second, a great move from Jack C down the left wing, followed by quick passing via Omar again who laid a perfect pass across the box for Foxes' Captain Harry to crisply finish.
The second half started with the Foxes full of confidence and once more Danny opened up the Stoke Lane defence and a composed Omar finished well. 3-0 to the Foxes but Stoke Lane heads didn't drop and playing some fine passing football started creating chances and were rewarded with a great volleyed goal from a corner. Another Stoke Lane goal followed, again from a corner and with 10 minutes to go the Foxes had no option but to defend their slender lead. Ollie C, Max and Sam P gave the Foxes fresh vigour and a great save in the last few minutes from Archie allowed the Foxes to hang on for a thrilling victory. Great credit must go to Stoke Lane in a hard but fair game that brought out the best in both teams.
The coaches are so proud of what the whole sqaud has achieved across a long and competitive season. All of the boys, be they Green or White, have done the club proud.
