Clifton United v WP Foxes Match reports Sat 27th Sept
Year 4 - We played 2 matches against Clifton Utd on a huge pitch. In the 1st match we took an early lead when Hamish scored &, through a lot hard work & discipline at the back, held on until the last few seconds when Clifton got a deserved equaliser (1-1). In the second match Clifton took the lead, then Foxes equalised when Ollie D slotted the ball into te corner of the net beyond the keeper's reach. Clifton then scored again & got the chance to stretch their lead further when they won a penatly, however Connor made a fantastic save to keep us in the game. We continued to press for an equaliser but were unable to get it (2-1). The Player of the Week trophy was awarded to Ollie Whyte for his great all round performance.

The Saturday Debrief - Year Five
Goal fest on the Downs
Year 5 Boys began the season entertaining the Golden Hill Sonics on Saturday and we were treated to two great games and something of a goal feast. A slow start in the first match meant we were two goals down by half time but a resurgent Foxes came back strongly with Gabe Kerfoot netting twice in a revitalised second half performance although the Sonics edged a tight match 3-2.
In the second match the story seemed to be following the same script. Foxes found themselves 2-0 down before Eddie Marshall finished an excellent move at the far post. Two more Sonics goals meant we had a mountain to climb in the second half but a rasping finish from Kris Carr, a great strike from Joe Feehily (rounding off a flowing passing move) and a last minute strike from Eddie Marshall, pouncing on a wayward goalkick, meant we emerged honours even in a thrilling 4-4 draw. Well done to everybody who took part.
Foxes pipped in five-a-side final
The Year 5 boys had a great tournament at the Party in the Park in Henleaze on Saturday afternoon. Playing 5-a-side the Foxes began their group matches with a 3-0 win over Bishop Road A (Eddie Marshall netting twice and Gabe Kerfoot also scoring) followed by a 2-2 draw against Bishop Road B (Eddie again getting both goals). The third match was a must-win for the Foxes and we duly saw off the Sonics 5-0 (a first half hat trick for Eddie and goals from Kris Carr and Gabe) before going down 2-1 to Rockleaze in our final match. It was enough for us to qualify for our first ever final and it was an exciting match against Rockleaze. The Foxes attacked from the start but couldn’t get the breakthrough we needed despite creating a number of great chances. Just after half-time, from a Rockleaze corner, somehow the ball agonisingly slipped inches over our goal line. Undaunted the Foxes rallied and threw everything at Rockleaze to try to force the equaliser but in the end we finished runners-up by the narrowest of margins (1-0). Well done to everyone who played.

The Saturday Debrief
Year Four got off to a great start to the season with a 1-0 win over the Sonics.
The players were set up in the tried & tested "Ted Rogers" formation and we focused on keeping our shape. Sammy made some great saves in goal, Charlie, Thea, Maddy and Jack did some excellent tackling in defence, while Ollie D, Ollie W, Connor and Hamish were all over the pitch breaking up their play and creating opportunities. All this effort was finally rewarded when Hamish put away what turned out to be the winner.
It was too hard to single out one player for the Player of the Week trophy so it was presented to the whole team. It was a real team effort. We lost the second game 0-4 but we're not focusing on that.
