Freethorpe U11 Girls.

Played Stalham away this week and put in a great team effort displaying skill,positional sense,hard tackerling,and most of all great team spirit.

The first half started with Freethorpe kicking down the considerable slope.The game was evenly matched with Erin k,Rebekah G,and Jessica H all causing Stalham problems when Freethorpe attacked.Missy H held well just in front of the back line.When Stalham did break through they found Ellie P waiting with some great tackles,intelligent interceptions and good first time clearances.
Elizabeth G was also in great form in making a formidable defensive partnership.Libby B in goal was again brave,strong and positive.

After 14 minutes Erin K took a snap shot from outside the area finding the bottom corner of Stalhams goal for Freethorpe to lead 1-0.Stalham were galvanised into action and despite some good defensive work from Lily B and Molly D Stalham equalised in first half overtime.

The second period saw Stalham pressurise Freethorpe from the off.Claire A and Isabel S worked hard in midfield to no avail as Stalham quickly scored three times to lead 4-1.Freethorpe heads did not drop and they worked themselves back into the game with some great football but sadly could not reduce the arrears and lost the game 1-4.

Twelve months on from the launch of training for the girls this was a true team performance where they looked and played like footballers.The future looks bright and success will come if the team continues to listen,learn and develop at the pace they have since inception.Don't forget keep smiling and enjoy your football.
