BGL u12 Westbury Park Foxes 6 v 0 Longwell Green Whites

Foxes return to winning ways!

 The Foxes arrived determined to put right the errors of last week as they welcomed the Whites to BAWA.
With a focus on retaining the ball and playing simple passes the Foxes got the game underway, opting to try a 3 man defence with Ella W coming into the line up.
The game pattern was soon established, with the Whites happy to defend in numbers and look to get a chance on the break.
The game ebbed and flowed as the Foxes dominated territorially, whilst Longwell Green had occasional breaks that rarely tested Betty in the home goal.
With the Foxes execution the game plan the goals started to flow, with a first half hat trick for Sim and two goals for Daisy putting the Foxes in a commanding 5-0 half time lead.

With the points in the bag the Foxes use the second half to practice the passing and moving that need to be developed. With Sim already departed to London, Lily led the line, with the increasingly impressive Izzy coming on to win the ball in midfield, whilst Molly took over in defence.

Within minutes of the restart Daisy completed her hat trick, and, whilst still enjoying the bulk of possession, the Foxes were unable to extend their tally. With Betty invoking the '5 goal rule' and replacing Mara on the left, Lulu took over in goal and held on for the first clean sheet of the year.


So a good response from the girls, and a chance to practice under match conditions as we head towards some more tough matches!

Captain of the Week : Ella B
