So 16 Foxes travelled to Thornbury. In contrast to our previous experience of this Tournament, where we have come against a good variety of teams from far and wide, our two teams were only up against 6 other sides, four of which came from the host club.
Two groups of four and the Greens and Whites both got off to winning starts.
The Whites (Owen, Ollie K, Seb, Sam P, Sam L, Joey, Jacob and Raul) came out on top 2-0 in their first game against opposition from Thornbury. A rather disjointed and cranky display in the second game against the second Thornbury side in the group led to a defeat and while we played with much more spirit in the final group game, the only goal went to Rockleaze. One win, two defeats. Third place.
The Greens (Archie, Harri, Aidan, Harry, Danny, Jack C, Max, Omar) beat Thorbury 1-0, drew with the other Thornbury side 0-0 and lost to the Sonics 1-0. One win, one draw and one defeat. Third place.
On to the semifinals in the plate where both sides overcame teams from Thornbury and set up a Foxes v Foxes final. This proved to be the best game we played in and ended in an inevitable 1-1 draw. Penalties and the Greens emerged victorious. Max lifted the trophy amid an ice-cream celebration.
