We entered two squads. The Greens - Caleb, Rohan, Brody, William W, William LP, Josh, Ewan, Oskar and Jamie - played brilliantly. They beat Whitchurch 3-0 and Clifton United Green 4-0, losing only to Shire Colts, to gain a place in the semi-finals.
The White squad - Harrison, Caston, Henry, Joseph, Stanley, Tee-Jay, Eddie, Jack and Matthew also played some blinding football to beat Ingleside 2-0, Golden Hill Sonics 4-0 and Clifton United Yellow 4-0 to top their league.
The coaches' nightmare then followed as the two Foxes squads played each other in the semi-final. The whites won through to the final but only after some resilient play from the battling greens.
In the final, the Foxes Whites got of to a flying start again Shire Colts, scoring in the first minutes. Another could and should have followed. The Foxes then dominated the match but could not add to their lead - being cleared off the line and only being kept out by some superb Shire goal-keeping. Despite a tense few final minutes, Foxes held on to win 1-0 and lift their first trophy. A thoroughly deserved victory for a team that scored 16 goals and kept a clean sheet.
Many congratulations to everyone who played - a brilliant achievement by both squads and always in a great sporting spirit! You make us proud!
