BSYL Yr 8 - Foxes 2 - 5 Golden Hill Sonics, 28/09/13

A difficult day for the Foxes ended in a disappointing performance and a second defeat of the season. Only 12 of the the squad were available for the game and the lack of fresh 'legs' showed as the game went on. The first half was pretty even with the Sonics being good value for their 2-1 half-time lead, their first goal a volley from the edge of the area that left Owen with no hope. The Foxes goal was just as good as Sonny swivelled to bury a chance following a corner. As the second half started it was clear that the next goal would be crucial. Unlike the game against Wickwar the Foxes were unable to grab it as the Sonics extended their lead with a well judged lob. What followed was 15 minutes of the Sonics being completely on top as the Foxes struggled to keep their shape and their heads up. Owen, Ollie K and Alec were exceptional in keeping the score down but even so with five minutes left we trailed 5-1. The game finished on a high note as Harri scored his first of the season but even that did not quite make up for a very a-typical Foxes performance. Ollie K was man of the match for sticking to his task on a difficult day.
