FREETHORPE FC GIRLS U12A

STARTED THEIR SEASON WITH A HOME GAME AGAINST SHRUBLANDS.HAVING NOT PLAYED FOOTBALL ALL SUMMER BUT WITH A MONTHS PRE SEASON TRAINING BEHIND THEM THE GIRLS WERE EXCITED AND HUNGRY FOR A GAME.

THE FIRST 15 MINUTES WAS VERY CLOSE WITH BOTH TEAMS PLAYING WELL IN A SPORTING FASHION.FREETHORPE'S DEFENCE OF ELLEN P AND ELIZABETH G BOTH PLAYED WELL TO KEEP SHRUBLANDS AT BAY.WHEN THEY DID BREAK THROUGH THE EXCELLENT LIBBY B IN GOAL LOOKED CONFIDENT AND ASSURED AND DEALT WITH ANY THREAT.

FREETHORPE GRADUALLY EXERTED PRESSURE ON SHRUBLANDS WITH THE MIDFIELD OF OLIVIA S,REBEKAH G, AND MISSY H ALL PLAYING WELL FEEDING ERIN K UP FRONT WITH THE BALL AND SUPPORTING HER IN ATTACK.THE BREAKTHROUGH CAME WHEN ELIZABETH G STORMED FORWARD BUSTLED THROUGH THE SHRUBLANDS DEFENCE AND SHOT WITH PACE TO SCORE THE OPENING GOAL.

SOON AFTER ERIN K FOUND HERSELF SOME SPACE AND SHOT FROM DISTANCE TO SCORE A GREAT GOAL FOR FREETHORPE TO LEAD 2-0.SHRUBLANDS TO THEIR CREDIT BATTLED BACK AND SCORED JUST BEFORE THE BREAK.

THE SECOND HALF STARTED WITH SHRUBLANDS PRESSING VERY HARD FOR THE EQUALISER.FREETHORPE HOWEVER WORKED HARD AS A TEAM RIDE THE STORM WITH CLAIRE A AND JESSICA H BOTH WORKING HARD IN MIDFIELD.THE TEA HELD THEIR POSITIONS WELL AND PLAYED SOME NICE PASSING FOOTBALL TO BREAK SHRUBLANDS DOWN AND SCORE 4 MORE GOALS THROUGH ERIN K, THE TIRELESS OLIVIA S,REBEKAH G AND MISSY H TO DESERVEDLY WIN 6-1.

JANE AND SHARON'S G.O.M ERIN K.
