Let's finish this: Foxes set for GF

The Foxes are ready for this.

Forbes' men's soccer team hosts the Lachlan Amateur Soccer Association grand final this Sunday, September 15.

They'll take on Parkes Vipers, who knocked the Railway Renegades out of the running on the weekend with a 3-1 victory.

Runners up in 2023, the Foxes kicked off their 2024 campaign with this premiership in mind - and their goal is to finish it, says the team's David Hodge.

Spurred on by the success of last season, a couple of experienced local players have returned to the ranks and there's junior talent coming up through as well.

They won the competition's pre-season cup and secured the minor-premiership, a win this weekend would make it a trifecta.

The scoreboard for these two teams this season is two wins and a draw in the Foxes' favour, and the team is building towards this contest.

They'd earned a bye on the weekend, but had a run together to stay in the game ahead of the big one.

"We want to win, we want to lift that trophy up," Hodge said.

"The boys are excited, the whole team is keen - everyone is ready to get going."

Hosting the final for the first time since 2015, the Foxes would love to have a good crowd to support them.

Enjoying great support this year, particularly in the home semi-final a couple of weeks ago, has heightened the atmosphere and anticipation for the side - and given how good the weather has been, how could you say no?

Game time is 1pm, Sunday September 15 at Botanical Gardens.
