Match Report – Foxton vs. Comberton. – League – 08.02.2025
Foxton were held to a 1-1 draw on Saturday to a determined Comberton side.
The early stages of the game were in favour of Comberton who, in the first 15/20 mins were unlucky not to take the lead on a couple of occasions. Foxton really struggled all over the park to get on top but had a couple of what looked to be promising attacks, but a poor final ball/decision meant nothing prevailed.
HT 0-0
Comberton started well again in the second half and took a deserved lead, albeit via a soft goal from a Foxton perspective.
The lead didn’t last long, as we hit back within 2 minutes when Evers’s throw was flicked on by debutant Evan Goodfellow, into the path of the returning Josh Byrne, who scored high into the net.
You would like to think that Foxton would’ve pushed on from this and it looked like this may have been the case when the ball found the back of the net from Jez, but the pull back to him was adjudged to have been out of play.
In all fairness, it was in fact the visitors who dug deeper and kept Foxton pegged back and under constant pressure, without a real opportunity falling their way.
Although second best for large parts of the game, it was Foxton who had the best chances, all coming in the last 10/15 minutes, Ed Watson could only find the keepers legs when through one on one , Evan found the side netting from close range with a first time volley at the back post, Dave Limber then pulled the trigger from distance, when he probably should’ve played in Liam and Kaan curled a free kick narrowly wide.
Bad day at the office for Foxton but full credit to Comberton, who worked tirelessly for 90 mins and were arguably the better side.
