Match report   On a beautiful sun-shiny day, the Foxes were up against Thornton Dale on a very slightly uneven mole battered pitch!

On with the game and in a well contested 1st half, the fantastic Foxes were setting the early pace and were unlucky not to take the lead 10 minutes in when Emily flighted in a great corner for Abz to stoop and guide a header into the bottom corner, only for the goalie to pull off a great save diving low to just tip around the post. Minutes later there was some good 1 touch play between Emily and Georgie resulting in Emily playing in Amy, who after the goalie slightly fumbled the ball rounded the keeper to calmly slot home from a tight angle. Pretty much straight after the restart, Thornton dale were level. After the Foxes lost possession up the Thornton Dale end having committed the whole of our midfield ahead of the ball, we were there for the taking and that’s exactly what Thornton Dale did.

The tide had turned and the Foxes came under a barrage of pressure from the dale with Sofia having to pull off a few smart saves. A sub was made and Beth R came on and started to push back the Dale players into there own half and the Foxes started to push back up a few gears and scored a second after Beth R made a great header which fell invitingly into the path of Emily in front of goal who made no mistake to slot it home and put the Foxes 2-1 up going into the break.

On with the 2nd half and this was mostly spent encamped in our own half. We had to defend resolutely throughout the half and much credit must go to the defence for standing firm and to Sofia who once again pulled off a string of superb saves to ensure victory for the Foxes. Game over a 2-1 victory for the Foxes

Girl of game: Sofia, pulled of a string of great saves ensuring the Foxes went away with the spoils.
