FREETHORPE U10S

FREETHORPE U10s
Played there first game of the season against Bungay at home. Freethorpe started well with the team looking sharp against large opposition. Luke H in goal looked assured with some great handerling and big kicks. Liam S was quickly withdrawn with a pre-match foot injury. Reece C, Ronnie B and particularly Thomas H looked lively and a threat to Bungay. Thomas H scored well after a great pass from Ronnie B for Freethorpe to take the lead. Freethorpe looked in control of the match with Perry K working hard down the right flank putting in some good crosses and Reece C working hard in midfield. Bungay kept trying and forced some good defending from Ollie D and Aaron C. Alex P again imposed his presence in the game with strength and composure.
Just before half time Bungay equalised which again stung Freethorpe into action with Reece C scoring from a great long range shot to go in at the break 2-1 up.
The second half saw Bungay equalise quickly which seemed to freeze Freethorpe for the next 15 minutes and saw Bungay score twice more to lead 4-2. Will-of-the-wisp Liam D tried to lift the team with his pace and enthusiasm. it wasn't until the final minutes that the promising Ronnie B scored after a defensive mix up. This woke up the team and late on Freethorpe were unlucky not to equalise. A game Freethorpe should have won but didn't result lost 3-4.
