Yr 8 - BSYL, Rockleaze 1- 9 Foxes, 08/02

An on-off game that finally beat the weather ended in a comfortable victory for the Foxes. Hat-ricks from Archie (on a rare out field appearance due to a keeping injury) and Danny helped secure the win which was built on a dominant team performance. 

The game was only minutes old when a cross from the right found Archie at the far post for a tap in. Within five minutes he scored his second from a similar move and later another cross from Ollie C from the Foxes' right led to an own goal, with Archie again involved as he put the defender under pressure. Danny got in on the act by smashing a shot into the roof of the net following a corner to make it 4-0. The only blemish in the first half was the Foxes losing concentration following the award of a free kick, which Rockleaze took quickly allowing their forward to break free and to lob Owen in goal.

The Foxes had the advantage of the slope in the second half and scored 5 more goals, with Archie and Danny completing their hat-ricks and Omar grabbing two. Rockleaze kept battling and their goalkeeper and defenders did well to keep Foxes from scoring more.

A great team performance with Alec and Ollie K impressive at centre back, but man of the match was Harri for a commanding game at right back.
