On a scorching hot day in the summer the Foxes entered two teams into their own clubs tournament.
Dropping down to 6 aside was a challenge as we struggled to adapt in the early rounds. The small size of the goals also caused a challenge as a number of the matches were finished as no score draws therefore losing a goal in one match became a significant penalty.
The boys progressed into the plate competition and from then on they started to look a little more like a team.
Pushing hard they made their way through the knockout stages. In one match they play out of their skins and totally dominated. Then came penalties……….
The confidence of the keeper wouldn’t have been out of place of a person twice his side. He stood his ground and kept those balls out as best he could.
The pressure was on but they kept their nerve.
Kick after kick the saves and goal were matched with the opposition causing every player to step up until finally…………..success!
After a challenging plate final we couldn’t sustain the pressure after a long day and finsihed in second place. A great result for a long day.
