Match Report Sunday 5th December 2004-12-05 Home V S.C.Rangers
Score Won 5-3

This Sunday Freethorpe were at home to league leaders s.c.rangers.Freethorpe, with a full squad of players to choose from started the game very slowly, S.C.Rangers, who were unbeaten coming into todays game were handed an early opportunity to take the lead,Freethorpe failing to clear their area allowed Rangers to score an easy goal. Freethorpe who had lost to Rangers 12-2 earlier in the season then rolled their sleeves up and started to play some good attacking football. The defence was holding firm with Dominic,Dan,Mattie,and Harry all tackling suberbly.Freethorpe were playing with confidence and were pushing Rangers back when a goal mouth scramble resulted with the ball going into the Rangers net off one of their defenders. Virtually from the kick off Freethorpe pushed up field and with the front two of Josh and Biddy connecting well passed the ball around and Biddy scored to put us up 2-1. Adam in goal made a couple of good stops and the midfield were starting to control the game for us, both James D and Callum were having their best games and Sam and Ben were defending our goal and also creating all the openings.As half time neared another excellent move involving half the team put Josh through on goal and shot hit the back of the net, half time came with Freethorpe ahead 3-1. Peter came on for the second half and kept his mark on their winger,and bringing on Cyrus to replace the hard working Callum,the second half started much the same as the first with Rangers threatening the Freethorpe goal but this time the boys held firm and with another Freethorpe attack involving Ben again ended with Sam scoring our 4th.Rangers replied soon after with a sloppy goal to give away,but yet again full credit to the lads who held their heads high throughout the game.As the game moved towards the end Freethorpe scored their best yet , a brilliant move again involving half the team ended when Sam hit a thunder bolt from outside the box.As the was coming to a close Rangers were awarded a freekick outside the box, and their player caught the ball well and it flew into our net. Final score 5-3 to Freethorpe.An excellent game played in the right spirit by both teams,Ben was man of the match,for his tackling and vision when going forward but it was hard to choose between the whole team,well done.Feet back on the floor,another hard game next week with Yarmouth away.
