FREETHORPE FC U12A GIR

FREETHORPE U12A GIRLS

THIS WEEK PLAYED BOHEMIANS B AWAY.MANY THANKS TO DAVID EASTWOOD FOR ACCOMMODATING OUR REQUEST TO PLAY THE GAME ON SATURDAY.

THE GAME STARTED WITH FREETHORPE PLAYING DOWN THE HILL AT CLIFF PARK. WITH THE GRASS BEING VERY WET DUE TO OVERNIGHT RAIN THE SURFACE WAS VERY FAST.
FREETHORPE STARTED THE GAME VERY POSITIVELY WITH ELLAN P AND ELIZABETH G LOOKING VERY ALERT AND SHARP IN DEFENCE.MISSY H IN MIDFIELD WAS STRONG IN THE TACKLE AND IMPOSED HER PRESENCE ON THE GAME.

FREETHORPE TOOK THE LEAD WHEN THE LIVELY ERIN KELF SCORED ANOTHER GREAT GOAL AFTER A FREE KICK WAS AWARDED FOLLOWING SOME SUSTAINED FREETHORPE PRESSURE. THE GOAL STUNG THE BOHS INTO ACTION AND DESPITE SOME GREAT WORK FROM OLIVIA S AND REBEKAH G IN MIDFIELD THE BOHS WON A PENALTY WHEN THE BALL JUMPED UP AND HIT MISSY H ON THE HAND.LIBBY B IN GOAL ALTHOUGH HAVING ANOTHER GREAT GAME IN GOAL WAS UNABLE TO STOP A WELL STRUCK RETAKEN SPOT KICK.

JESSICA H AND CLAIRE A WERE INTRODUCED INTO THE FRAY AND BOTH PLAYED VERY WELL WITH JESSICA RUNNING STRONGLY WITH THE BALL AND CLAIRE DEFENDING WELL INCLUDING A DRAMATIC FALLING GOALINE CLEARANCE.BOHS TOOK THE LEAD JUST BEFORE THE BREAK AS FREETHORPE WERE CAUGHT OUT TOO FAR FORWARD LOOKING FOR ANOTHER GOAL.

THE SECOND HALF SAW BOHS TAKE THE ASCENDANCY COMING DOWN THE HILL ALL THE GIRLS DEFENDED STOUTLY.LIBBY B WAS A STAR IN GOAL AND ELIZABETH G WAS OUTSTANDING IN THE TACKLE.BOHS SCORED A FURTHER 2 GOALS TO WIN 4-1.A VERY GOOD GAME PLAYED IN THE RIGHT SPIRIT BY BOTH TEAMS AND A GREAT PERFORMANCE FROM FREETHORPE.JANE AND SHARON'S G.O.M.WENT TO MISSY H FOR HER BEST GAME EVER.
