The Lachlan district soccer competition has kicked off, with Forbes Foxes at home in Round 1.

The Foxes met Parkes Vipers in a fast-paced opener, the visitors the winners 0-2 at full time.

But Round 2 was a different story: the Foxes hosted a night game and finished 8-0 winners over Parkes Leopards.

The Forbes team, who won the competition in 2024 and were runners up in 2025, have retained many of their core group of players and welcomed some new recruits for their 2026 campaign.
