FREETHORPE UNDER 12;s

Match Report- Sunday 21st November 2004 , league away to St Bennetts Wasps
Final Score won 6-1

This week the boys were away to an improved Wasps side.Freethorpe this week had the luxury of two subs.Freethorpe started the stronger putting pressure on the wasps goal, and were quickly rewarded with the early goal when Callum struck home. This settled Freethorpe and more pressure paid off when the ball was bobbling around the Wasps goal and Cyrus popped up to head the ball in(yes, a header!) Wasps tried to battle back but Adam in goal was picking everything up. With Ben and Sam controlling midfield, Freethorpe were back on attack and Ben was rewarded for his hard working efforts with a shot on the edge of the box going in. As half time approached Freethorpe still pushing forward grabbed their forth when Josh had a run on the right and shooting which the keeper nearly pulled off a great save, but the ball crept over the line. The second half saw Wasps put us under pressure and Adam pulled of a great save to keep Wasps out. Dominic and Dan having their usual high standard game were defending brilliant and most of the attacks in the second half started from them. As the game went on Freethorpe had several chances to further score but were denied by a good Wasps keeper. A Freethorpe corner saw Sam score when he picked the ball up from outside the box and drove the ball home. Shortly after Biddy scored when chasing in on the keeper and the bounced of the keeper straight to him to score our sixth. Just as the game was coming to an end Dan went in for a tackle and was deemed to have fouled the Wasps player in the box and the Ref blew for a penalty. From the spot Wasps grabbed a consolation goal which they fully deserved for their efforts. A good team performance again from everyone, with Tom M, having an excellent game when he came on as left back. Man of the match went to Mattie, playing in two positions and not putting a foot wrong, well done lads.
