Match report   I’ll keep this one brief as I need to start packing for Vegas. Another fantastic result for the Foxes against a very well organised Thornton Dale side. In the 1st half chances were few a far between. Sofia had to have her wits about as always with a couple more 1 v 1 situations, again pulling off some marvellous saves with Dale unlucky not to score from one such opportunity hitting the post.

Up the other end Abby was putting in some good crosses from the left and Beth Weeks when she came on made some great runs down the right. She was far too quick for the Dale defence whipping in some great crosses for both Amy and Emily to come close. Dani was also causing the Dale trouble down the right with Beth Robinson putting in some good defensive work down the left. The half ended 0-0.

Second half underway and the Foxes assumed control, with Amy and Emily having some cracking chances in front of goal and unlucky not to find the back of the net. 5 minutes in and Beth Weeks picked up the ball in the middle of the park and swept the ball out with a fantastic pass to Amy on the right. Amy ghosted past the defender and with the coach screaming for Amy to pass to Emily in the middle, Amy did the right thing completely ignoring the coach and banging the ball in low and hard beating the keeper at the near post. Great goal Amy 1-0 to the Foxes. More chances to follow and in one of the best moves of the game, Abby bombed down the left, firing a low pass cross into the box to find Amy unmarked. Amy for once miss fired and the ball went narrowly wide.

In the final minutes the nerves were beginning to jangle. And with 1 minute to go Sofia kicked the ball straight to a Dale striker right in front of goal from a goal kick (need to practice them Sofia!). The Dale striker bared down on goal, with just Sofia to beat. The striker hit her shot and the ball became trapped between Sofia’s legs, with both Charlie and the striker trying to kick the ball out of her legs in a mass scramble. Finally Sophie Mole arrived and kicked the ball out of Sofia’s legs for Charlie then with a desperate lunge to kick the ball out with 2 Dale strikers challenging. Phew, I think we all thought that had goal written all over it. The Foxes then defended resulting corner well and Helen blew the final whistle for full time.

Another fine win for the Foxes. Girl of the game Beth Weeks. Set up the goal and was the Thorn in Thornton Dale down the left! Well done Beth.

VIVA Las Vegas!
