Foxdale A.F.C.

After three years of ground-sharing with Jurby, Foxdale were able to move to their own ground, and current location, Billy Goat Park.

The ground was purchased with funds that were raised through special events, supported by local business owners such as James Cubbon, David Crowe and a large contribution from Alan Lemaire, who went on the play for, then manage, the club.

The money was raised from fundraisers, selling previous equipment and, in part, a grant from the Isle of Man Football Association.

On 16 July 2016, The Claremont Hotel in Douglas, played host to Foxdale AFC's annual awards for the first time.

The cup has not been contested since 1997 and Foxdale emerged the victors in a 5–0 win over Laxey at Billy Goat Park.

A hat-trick from Jay Chatwood and a goal a piece from new signings Liam Parker and Andy Williamson sealed the trophy.

The game was unfortunately lost 8-2 but a historic goal from Philip Plaatjies and a penalty conversion from Michael Sloan meant that Foxdale had something to celebrate.

The game was also a historic event as, for the first time ever in Foxdale's history, the back four was consisted of three triplets in the Quaye brothers (a suspected but non-confirmed first in Manx football also).

Once the Island had dropped social distancing rules completely, football was allowed to proceed as usual with the IOMFA announcing there would be play-offs for promotion to the Premier League.

John Roberts stepped down as manager and was replaced by club veteran centre-back Antony Corkill; assisted by Mark Smith and Stuart Fayle.

An underwhelming season for the club saw them finish 5th in the league, missing out on the Paul Henry Gold Cup spots by 4 points.

An Island Team call-up followed soon after making Jay the first Foxdale player to be called up to the national side whilst playing in Division 2.

In the 2016/17 season, Foxdale found themselves in the FA Cup semi-finals against top flight league contenders, Peel A.F.C.

3–2 at home in the final minutes of the Round of 16 with goals from Aaron Costain, Andrew Berry and Jay Chatwood.

The semi-final vs Peel was played on 25 March 2017 and a large crowd turned out to watch the underdogs compete against their western rivals.

Foxdale battled throughout and held their own against the most successful club in Manx Football, however, a fortunate punted clearance goal from Scott Kermeen was not enough to keep Peel from winning 2–1.

Foxdale finished the season in third position meaning that they had qualified for the Paul Henry Gold Cup for the first time in five years.

An 11-goal thriller was ultimately Foxdale's demise with the game going into extra time and Foxdale conceding a late 6th goal to lose the game 6–5; goals from Ricky Newsham, Jay Chatwood, Andrew Berry, Charlie Harrison and Kevin Pulman.

Their first game came on 6 April 2019 against Castletown in the preliminary round; a team promoted to the top division the season earlier.

The quarter-finals draw was not dissimilar to the previous round which again saw Foxdale playing against a team from the division above who were also local rivals.

It was Foxdale once again, however, who came out the victors and, once again, Antony Corkill was the man to score the only goal of the game, headed in from a corner kick.

The giant-killing name Foxdale had earned for themselves over the course of the season would finally come to an end when the semi-final draw saw them play against Division 1 champions St Marys A.F.C.

Large portions of the game saw Foxdale hold their own against the Douglas powerhouses but goals early and late in both halves saw them crash out.

It was another disappointing year in the Paul Henry Gold Cup with the side playing eventual Division 2 champions, Ramsey A.F.C.

In an unprecedented event, the 2019/20 season was cancelled in February 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic; this resulted in all cup competitions becoming null and void.

The volunteer work of various sponsors helped ensure that the costs were cut to a minimum with the advantage of Billy Goat Park being situated directly beside DCS Limited so machinery could be used at will.

As of the summer of 2014, Billy Goat Park will be used to accommodate campers over the period of the Isle of Man TT Races.

The camping equipment was supplied by Isle of Man TT Breaks – The Lazy Camper and will accommodate around 100 tourists with members of Foxdale Football Club providing staff and services.
