Year 9 - BSYL Cup : Foxes 5 - 0 Ashley Down

The Cup holders overcame tough resistance from Ashley Down in the BSYL Cup on Saturday. While all of the other cup-ties fell foul of the weather, the conditions were perfect for football on the 3G at St Bedes. The visitors started the stronger and dominated the first 15 minutes. The Foxes struggled with the basics, missing both tackles and passes, but Ashley Down, always first to the ball, failed to convert a couple of good chances. The introduction of Omar and Tom for the Foxes changed the balance of the game and the home side started to dominated. Several half chances where created before, with seconds to go of the first half, a fine corner from Ollie C was headed in by Dom.

Two quick goals at the start of the second half reinforced the shift in the balance of the play, as first Danny converted a penalty and then Omar scored with a delightful chip from the edge of the box, both created by Ollie C. More chances and two offside goals followed, before corners from Sam  were finished by Ed and Harri.

The Foxes man of the match was Nick  for an all-action performance in midfield.
