Lytham manager Andy Bain told The Gazette: “It was a great game which could have gone either way on a lovely day.
“We did struggle a bit in the top league but we've done really well since Christmas and other coaches have commented on how much we've improved.
His Foxhall counterpart Andy Leech said: “That was one of the best games I've seen at this age group and all the kids enjoyed playing in the sun.
“We've had the same 10 players since the start of the season and they have gone from strength to strength. We were promoted from the third tier and have done really well.”
Josh scored four for the home side at Ballam Road but their man of the match was outstanding defender Ollie, while captain Kynan came on to score a vital goal and was Foxhall's star player.
There were lots of smiles and plenty of fun throughout the competition as development matches continues.
