FREETHORPE GIRLS U12s

FREETHORPE GIRLS U12s
This week it was the U12 girls to take their bow with their first game ever for Freethorpe F.C against Martham. There were actually 4 under 12 girls the rest coming from the under 11s.
The game started with both teams assessing the opposition with cagey play. Martham looked the more confident team and quickly went 2-0 up. Freethorpe then upped the tempo and defended well with Georgia G looking sharp and alert tackerling and clearing well. Elizabeth G again defending well with some excellent last ditch tackles. Charlotte B and Megan S both worked hard in midfield trying to stop Martham from pushing forward. Lauren S playing up front on her own tried hard to attack but lacked support as Martham pushed Freethorpe back. Rebekah G worked tirelessly all over the pitch tackerling and starting play off.
Late on in the first half Martham again scored twice despite the excellent Isabel S in goal having a great game. The second half saw Freethorpe play better with Megan S growing with confidence. Jessica H worked hard when she came on for the team. Erin K tried to find some space and held position well against a Good Martham defence. Claire A dropped into midfield nicely and had a couple of decent runs down the centre.
Martham however managed to score 3 more times in the second half despite some great defending from Georgia G and Elizabeth G and a great goalkeeping display from Isabel S.
