A fourth vs. third clash in the league was always destined to be a thriller, and this one certainly delivered. With bragging rights on the line, AFC Market Bosworth extended their winning streak to 13 games with a dramatic 3-2 comeback victory over the visiting Blaby Foxes.

The match began with Blaby taking control, displaying grit and determination to race into a 2-0 lead by halftime. AFC had their chances, with Hamesy and Alex going close, but the visitors held firm, leaving Bosie with work to do in the second half.

Sensing the threat of their streak ending, captain Rory H, alongside Charlie A and Rees M, led a passionate halftime team talk that reignited belief within the squad. Tactical adjustments and substitutions followed, setting the stage for a turnaround.

Enter Henry L.
Cool, composed, and itching to make an impact, Henry L took to the field with intent. Just ten minutes after the restart, he unleashed a half-volley from 12-15 yards that nearly shattered the back of the net. A screamer. 1-2.

With the AFC backline now dictating play and midfielders Dec, Reuben, and Connor tearing through the opposition, the momentum had fully shifted. Wingers Ollie, Alex, and Lewis found space to torment the Blaby defence, providing the perfect service for Henry L, who once again delivered with a clinical finish. 2-2.

With the game hanging in the balance and just eight minutes left, the moment of truth arrived. Another Bosie attack saw captain Rory H step up to slot home the winner, sealing a phenomenal comeback and keeping AFC’s incredible run alive. 3-2.

Special mention to POTM “Connor The Alien,” who ran the opposition into the ground with a breathtaking display of athleticism and drive.

13 wins in a row. Next stop: Beaumont away.

A massive well done to everyone - COYB!
