A hazy day greeted the Foxes as they took on Keynsham at BAWA.
The meeting last season had been a landslide for the Foxes, in what was Keynsham's first BGL fixture.
This encounter would be a stiffer test, with the away side sitting mid table , and not having conceded many in their encounters this year.
The Foxes were further deprived by Centre Parcs, swimming galas, and sleepovers, of most of their left hand side!
So a re jigged lineup but the same great determination and footballing skill on display.The Foxes asserted pressure, before an early injury to Ella B meant an earlier than planned for switch, as Millie was pushed up into midfield.
The home side didn't have long to wait for the opening goal, as Sim battled the defender on a through ball that left the defender with no choice but to turn the ball into her own net. 1-0 Foxes!
It was clear that the away side had added some steel to their play, and thankfully some strong refereeing was enforced as the Foxes midfield were regularly brought down. It was from one such free kick that Zoe got up, dusted herself down and calmly fired in from outside the box. 2-0 at halftime.
The second half was again dominated by the Foxes, but Keynsham held firm until midway through the half when assist of the season saw Millie hit a 30 metre pass through the central defenders, anticipated by Sim who timed the run perfectly to beat the offside. One touch to control and a second to fire into the top corner.The Foxes played out the rest of the game to ensure another clean sheet and another week at the top of the BGL!
