AJFC Foxes 6-0 Oxford Grove

With last weeks game postponed, The Foxes were desperate to play knowing a win could take them top….. again.
We welcomed Oxford Grove and after the last meeting (2-2) we expected a difficult game. The first 15 minutes were a struggle as we had them pinned in their own half but it meant we were playing against 8 defenders. Despite us trying to play, we couldn’t get past the orange and black wall.
We made a quadruple sub with the subs giving messages to the other players…..shoot from distance.
Josh McDermott who has been playing exceptional in recent weeks obliged with a thunderbolt for the opener. This seemed to make the team click. 5 minutes later Charlie Simm took a rebound neatly before Harvey Browns instinctive rebounded finish made it 3-0 by half time. Our defenders had little to do in the first half but we expected them to come out fighting.
We mixed it up a little in the second half to try and kill the game, reducing the need for 4 defenders, we went for the 4th goal and Henry Williams, following another rebounded shot had it in the back of the net with a quick reaction to beat the defender to the ball. 
Jamie Blake beautifully slotted home an individual effort at an angle for 5 and we knew the game was won so we switched players around and gave defenders a chance up front but it was a sublime through ball from Jamie that sent Taylor on his way who wasn’t going to miss as he slotted home for 6 in the final minute.
Harry Smith took player of the match as we had not managed a clean sheet for what feels like ages but he remained focus and pulled off some good saves in the second half to see a very comfortable win for the Foxes.
