The Foxes were hoping to continue their strong start to the season and were looking to create a 7 point gap between them and 3rd place with an away trip to Hindsford. 

Hindsford have proved to be a bit of a bogey team for the Foxes with 3 defeats in the last 3 meetings. 

The pitch was coned out and with a kit clash,  we donned our bibs and took to the field. In typical Foxes fashion recently,  we started slow and conceded an early goal from a corner.  Josh was brought on from the bench and his determination to win every ball lifted some of the other players and Henry nodded home a corner as he was left unmarked. 

Half time seemed to lift Hindsford and within minutes of the restart they took the lead again.  We made several switches and subs throughout the second half but couldn’t make anything stick and seemed to be missing something…… possibly luck.

We pushed and pushed but we’re caught on the break to fall 3-1 with 15 minutes to go.  Those 15 minutes were all Foxes as they hammered the Hindsford goal and from another positive move we got a corner that James swung in. The keeper tried to catch it but spilled the ball over the line and the Foxes were at it again from the whistle – tails up! We peppered that goal but couldn’t get the equaliser as Hindsford managed out the final few minutes to be just 1pt behind us in the table. 

We go into the break now to rest and come back ready to go again!

Up next,  MossBank who have struggled in the early weeks of the season and we should have a full strength team back ready to play.
