“Foxes have the luck of the Irish”

Foxes take on the Irish tonight.  Back to a full team with no one suffering from any bouts of sickness, all seemed well in the changing rooms.

 

Celine started in the net with Myra and Pirate linking up well in the front.  The mighty duo of dumb and dumber were together again covering the back.  Foxes start off very strong and have a lot of shots on goal.  Myra particularly has a lot of shots but the Irish goalkeeper makes some great saves.

 

Pirate was all over the pitch and had some good runs and passes well to the linking Foxes.

 

Having not played for a couple of weeks and then managing to kick the ground and fall over whilst warming up, Kalee is tentative at the start but soon gets into the game.  She has a few shots at the goal but again these are saved.

 

The first goal comes from a penalty when an Irish player went into their own goal area.  Tre and the ref seemed to be the only two that were aware of this and so everyone else was a little perplexed as to why we got a penalty.  Still, Myra stepped up to take it, strangely got crowded out at the line but slotted it into the bottom corner with ease.

 

Next in goal is Pirate and with Celine up front with Myra they were causing the Irish problems.  Celine was able to score a great goal in the first half.

 

There were claims of hand ball against Kalee but in defence their player dived below me and I was merely protected myself rather than trying to take advantage.  

 

The second half was much of the same.  Kalee started in the net and Myra and Pirate were back up front.  Pirate scored a great goal to put us into a great position.  Celine had a goal disallowed because of being in the area.

 

The Irish were able to get a goal in the second half to make it a little more edgy for the Foxes.  Although they don’t have many shots they are still quite a tough team to mark and take control of.  They put up a good fight but the game goes to the Foxes in the end.  

 

It was a good ref that we had tonight.  He was very encouraging and fair and let the game go on well.

 

Score: 3-1

Scorers: Myra, Celine, Pirate
