Freethorpe started the game with an early goal coming from Danny B, Waveney then replied with with a equaliser before half time. In the second half Freethorpe once again took the lead with a corner from Luke T taking a deflection. Waveney once again replied with a equaliser, Freethorpe then won a freekick just outside the box which saw a great freekick from Danny B which the keeper got a hand to the ball it came back off the post and Erin K was there to score the winner. Not a great performance but a good result. Man of the Match Joash M.

We were soundly beaten for the first time this season by a score of 11 - 1 and although alot of it can be contributed to the fact we had several players away on holiday etc. there were lessons to be learned from this defeat.

We need to work in training on our clearances from set pieces which probably lead to at least half of our goals conceded, and also we need to be awake from the kick off, as before in most of our games we soon conceded several early goals and were constantly chasing the game.

If you take the game as a whole the first half we allowed ourselves to be over run from poorly cleared set pieces and were loosing by 8 - 1 by halftime. In the second half we played much better and although lost the half by 3 - 0 we could have easily have scored 3 or 4 goals ourselves.

Not all was doom & gloom, and a very good debut performance by Kirby G. gives hope for the future, Danny E also ran and played well throughout, Oliver M again scored this time from a well taken free kick, but more passing will help in the future. Bailey defended well in the second half, Liam B tried hard from his subs. appearance & Ben made some good saves. No game this week and an opportunity to try out some more ideas in training.

THIS WEEK PLAYED TOP OF THE LEAGUE BOHEMIANS AWAY.WITH THREE BOYS AWAY ON HOLIDAY THIS WAS ALWAYS GOING TO BE A STIFF TEST.WHAT A RESPONSE THE WHOLE TEAM WERE EXCELLENT THROUGHOUT GIVING EVERYTHING TO MAKE THE UNBEATEN BOHEMIANS PULL OUT ALLTHE STOPS TO MAINTAIN THEIR RUN.

THE GAME STARTED AT A GOOD PACE WITH BOHEMIANS PUTTING FREETHORPE UNDER IMMENSE PRESSURE.FREETHORPE RESPONDED WITH DISCIPLINED DEFENDING FROM PERRY,LIAM S AND AARON AND LUKE WAS AGAIN EXCELLENT IN GOAL SAVING AT LEAST 4 GOALBOUND ATTEMPTS. FREETHORPE CLAWED THEMSELVES BACK INTO THE GAME WITH LIAM D A CONSTANT THREAT WITH HIS STRONG, PACEY AND DIRECT RUNS. REECE WAS ALSO PLAYING WELL WHEN HE UNLEASHED A THUNDEROUS SHOT FROM 20 YARDS FOR FREETHORPE TO TAKE THE LEAD. FREETHORPE HELD ON TO THE LEAD TO COME IN 1-0 UP AT THE BREAK.

   THE SECOND HALF SAW FREETHORPE PLAYING UP THE HILL WITH NO SUBS THIS WAS A HARD TASK BOHEMIANS EQUALISED WHEN LUKE MISJUDGED A SPECULATIVE CROSS.

   FREETHORPE AGAIN TOOK THE GAME TO BOHEMIANS WITH PERRY AGAIN PLAYING A CULTURED GAME, LIAM S TACKERLING AND RUNNING HARD AND MOM LIAM D CAUSING ALL SORT OF PROBLEMS FOR THE BOHEMIANS WITH HIS PACE AND DRIBBERLING. FREETHORPE JUST COULD NOT SCORE FROM NUMEROUS CHANCES. BOHEMIANS SOAKED UP THE PRESSURE AND BROKE WELL TO SCORE TWICE AND WIN 3-1.

  A GREAT GAME CONTESTED BY 2 GOOD U9S TEAMS PROBABLY THE LACK OF SUBS COST FREETHORPE THE RESULT. BOTH TEAMS CAN BE PROUD OF THE EFFORT AND SKILL FROM ONES SO YOUNG.

A most encouraging performance by Freethorpe Under 8's again saw us defeated but begins to offer some hope for the future weeks ahead.

We again conceded early goals against a strong Waveney B team to find ourselves 2 goals down with in the first 2 minutes, one a deflection and the other a scramble from a set piece, however our heads did not drop and we tried to play football and to pass & shoot which was much better. We were then caught again to go three goals behind, but this week we had the pace & strength of Liam D to help us out, and it was from one of his many runs that he broke through and finished well. Encouraged by this we pushed Waveney back & two fine goals from Oliver M brought us level for halftime, looking the better side.

We continued to try and play good football and in an even second half were again down by 5 - 3 when another of Liam D's runs won us a penalty, which Oliver M cleverly put away to gain our and his first hat trick of the season, Waveney B then broke away and scored a very good goal from a good pull back and they then closed the game with a close shot from an uncleared corner.

Ashley S And Joseph did well at the back, and Bailey played well in midfield, Liam B ran And tackled during his subs appearance, Ben produced one or two good saves but it was Liam D and Oliver M who carried the day for us, with Oliver M our MOM by nature of his hat trick & dribbling.

This week played Gorleston F.C.B away. On a large pitch this was a different challenge from previous weeks. Andy decided the boys would defend narrow with Alex central, Liam left and Perry right.
The game was even from the start with both teams playing well. Liam tackled and ran hard from the off with Perry covering round the back. Despite this Gorleston opened the scoring with a great lob over Luke who could do nothing about it. Almost immediately Freethorpe equalised through Thomas following a great pass from Reece. It was good to have Luke back in goal he made several good saves, came off his line well and kicked strongly. Gorleston scored again to lead 2-1 at the break. Freethorpe quickly equalised through Reece who had a great game including one great goal saving tackle. Aaron, Ollie and Alex all played there part in a fast paced game. Freethopre pressed Gorleston hard and were rewarded when Liam scored from the edge of the area following a Thomas corner. Late on Aaron suffered from an unfortunate bobble when making a clearance allowing Gorleston to equalise final score 3-3. Andys M.O.M Liam S.

Freethorpe Under 8's were well beaten by a strong Pakefield B team, Pakefield were clearly the best team we have played this season and were well organised and stronger than us in most departments. There were lessons to be learned from the way they passed the ball and shot on every occasion available to them.

We looked tired this week and will have plenty to work on in training, making sure we pass the ball more often should help with the tiredness, and a better use of substitutions should also help.

Not all was doom & gloom and it should be remembered this is only our fourth game together and we will continue to improve as the season continues, Ben although beaten six times played well making several good saves and once again his kicking improved, Oliver made some good runs but should look for the pass more often, as should William & Ashley H, Bailey defended well on occasions but we were often out run as Pakefield got stronger & tackled in numbers.

Our subs Ashley S, Joseph, Danny & Liam all tried hard when they came on and Ashley H had a penalty well saved, the match ended 6 - 0 with the lads still trying to pull one back at the final whistle.

Sunday morning training - 3rd October

freeyfc

Marcus and Paddy once again took the sunday training with twelve players attending. They started with usual warm-up exercises and stretches before revisiting the things covered last week - passing and receiving the ball.

Then it was time to move on to this weeks focus of dribbling and turning with the ball. The children were shown how to dribble with the ball, and three main ways of turning on the ball - Inside of foot, outside of foot, and dragging the ball round with their studs.

A small sided game was then played to try and bring together the skills learnt over the past couple of sessions. The session was finished with a 'fun' penalty shoot out.

Another most enjoyable session with the main focus for next week being on shooting.

Marcus.
